In this show, I chat with Kelly, 20 years old and from Wisconsin.  We discussed her story and how she did not have pain with her cycles but very heavy bleeding and fatigue, and she knew something was off. We chat about how doctors did not take her seriously and how this can challenge teenagers.  Her path to getting diagnosed, how she feels now, and a more natural approach for endo.

In this show I chat with Rachell from Denver, CO.  She is 27 years old and a nurse, who is passionate about mental health. She shares the years of pain, suffering, and being told her pain was normal. Not to mention years of multiple birth controls and even taking two versions of BC at one time. She knew something was off but nothing was ever found until a doctor later in her search mentioned endometriosis.

Lauren R. Kornegay, founder of Endo Black joins us this month. 

Diagnosed with endometriosis at the age of 20, Lauren experienced the pain, struggles, exhaustion, and confusion that accompany the disorder. This led her on a search to find someone that looked like her, who was also dealing with endometriosis.

Having previously searched social media, websites, and other avenues, she knew something had to change. Her mother always told her, “If there’s a void, fill it, and if you want something done, do it yourself.” Lauren believes in “creating a space where there is no space.”

So in October of 2015, Lauren established Endo Black, Inc., a platform designed to connect African American women and women of color affected by endometriosis.

Join us today as she talks about her endo story, living a life of service, and her endo story. 

Check out https://www.endoblack.org/ for all of the events and details we talked about on today's show.
