I’m so pleased to speak to Donna Dia, the founder of the Beauty Beat, the UK’s only luxury beauty event for women of colour on today's episode of Period Story podcast.
In this episode, Donna shares:
- Why having a very light period and being able to wear white jeans isn’t always a good thing
- How a thin uterine lining led to fertility complications
- How a routine D&C after a missed miscarriage led to Asherman’s syndrome
- The research she did to understand Asherman’s
- The long and traumatic journey, including multiple surgeries, to help her uterine lining grow
- How her fertility journey lead to the Beauty Beat
- Why the Beauty Beat is a dedicated event for women of colour and Black beauty
- The why behind THEE Beauty Beat goody bag
- And of course, the story of her first period
Donna says that it’s valuable to learn about your gynaecological health, whether you have a light or heavy period, so that you can advocate for yourself and be the champion of your health.
Thank you, Donna!
