It’s go time! We are no longer taking just anything for an answer; we want a concrete plan. In this episode Elisa is talking all about advocacy and the importance of speaking up for yourself. Her Endometriosis story is heavily impacted by her experiences with doctors over the past few years. If you listened to the bonus episode of her last doctor’s appointment, you’ll see how disheartening it is to feel alone on this journey. Let’s discuss showing up for family and friends and partners. Let’s talk about the glaring rate of deaths among Black and Brown women who give birth. Also, peep her list of helpful, women of color resources to follow and gain more insight from.
Black Mamas Matter
Birth Workers of Color
For the Village Doula
Blk Women’s Health
The Black OBGYN Project

Disclaimer Reminder:
I am not a doctor so everything you will hear from me is out of my own personal experience and whatever research I did on my own time. I will try to reference where I got info from in the show notes if necessary. But don’t come for my non existent medical degree.
This is a podcast about menstrual cycles. If you have one, had one, will have one, I welcome you to this safe space. If you don’t have one but are a partner of someone who does, I also welcome you to this safe space. What I won’t tolerate is those who don’t experience a menstrual cycle shaming or degrading those who do. So if you’re in the comment section or the q&a section and leave behind anything other than love. Be blessed somewhere else cause you will be blocked
