We don’t know about y’all, but we’re two 30 somethings who have never considered what options we have when it comes to fertility preservation and family planning. If you’re scratching your head and saying to yourself, “fertility preservation???” you might want to stick around! 

This week, Germani and Brittany are joined by Titi and Zakiya, hosts of Dope Labs Podcast. Titi and Zakiya are not only best friends, but two Black Women Scientists and today they’re bringing their scientific expertise to The BGB to discuss what it means to be a Black woman exploring the vast world of fertility.

In this episode we discuss:

The value in understanding your fertility options and exercising your choices

Our personal feelings around pressure to start reproducing

How to ask your healthcare provider to assess your fertility

And much more!

This week’s gems: 

Flow and Eve: Period/Ovulation Tracker App 

Uphill: A Memoir by Jemele Hill
