The Uterine Exchange: Our Blog
A Powerful Sisterhood
Conversations about uterine health often remain hushed and private, which perpetuates stigma and lack of knowledge about the real effects of these conditions.
It’s time to break the silence.
Talk with your sisters, aunties, grandmas, cousins, and friends about your experience so we can collectively create a space of understanding, support, and empowerment amongst Black women. Sharing our experiences can help dispel myths, reduce stigma, and encourage early detection and prevention.
Let’s build a stronger, healthier community together.
