Today is Menstrual Hygiene Day, and May is Menstrual Health Awareness Month. 🩸🩷❤️

We’re proud to partner with the Alpha Alpha Lambda Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated and the Fort Washington Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated to help increase access to essential period care products and advance menstrual health equity in our community.

Did you know? Nearly 1 in 4 U.S. teens have struggled to afford period products, with Black and Brown youth disproportionately affected by period poverty and barriers to menstrual health resources.

Together, we’re helping ensure that every young person has access to the products they need to manage their periods with dignity, confidence, and care.

Healthy Hygiene Tip đź’ˇ: Change period products regularly, wash your hands before and after changing products, and stay hydrated throughout your cycle.

🩷❤️ Join us in breaking the stigma, raising awareness, and supporting period equity for all.

We are heartbroken by the passing of Jenneh Rishe, a endo advocate and true leader within the endometriosis space.

Jenneh was a founder and an author, a voice for those who were often silenced, and a source of strength and connection for many of us. Even during her own journey, she continued to show up for others.

As we honor her legacy, we are called to continue what she so powerfully embodied: advocacy rooted in care, community, and truth.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to her husband, family, friends, co-founder, and to all that loved her and were impacted by her life and work.

We love you and thank you.
Rest well, Jenneh. đź’›

Hope’s journey… 💛

"Hope’s journey with endometriosis began unexpectedly and violently while she was serving in the military. The pain arrived in waves so intense it forced her to confront a healthcare system that often dismissed her concerns. Like many Black women, she quickly learned she had to advocate for herself—documenting symptoms, challenging doctors, and refusing to let anyone silence her experience. Her diagnosis came only after she left the military, opening the door to clarity but also to a new reality.

Endometriosis reshaped Hope’s daily life. The inflammation, pelvic pain, fatigue, and endo belly became constant companions, altering how she moved, worked, socialized, and rested. Anxiety and stress formed in the shadow of her chronic symptoms, leading her to seek therapy to process the emotional weight. Some days, even attending family outings felt impossible. But through it all, she learned the powerful lesson of patience—with her body, with her healing, and with the unpredictable nature of chronic illness."

As a Black woman Veteran, her story highlights the intersection of service, strength, and the challenges of navigating chronic illness within systems that don’t always listen.

Her story reflects the strength it takes to advocate for yourself, navigate dismissal, and find patience through the uncertainty of chronic illness.

Rae’s journey… 💛

"Rae’s endometriosis journey has been one of the greatest mental battles of her life. Her pain had already reached unimaginable levels before she even left high school—so much so that her graduation ceremony, a moment meant to symbolize hope and accomplishment, was overshadowed by agony. In college, her symptoms worsened, and instead of empathy, she received dismissal. A professor suggested she drop out, unaware of the silent suffering she carried through each class, each assignment, each day.

For years, Rae’s pain was not believed. This disbelief cut deeper than the physical symptoms. It left emotional wounds that shaped her early adulthood. Endometriosis affected every part of her daily living: her education, her social life, her emotional stability, and her mental health. She struggled to explain a pain that felt impossible to describe—sharp, consuming, earth-shattering."

As a twin, Rae’s journey also reflects the contrast of shared life experiences shaped by different health realities—highlighting how invisible illness can uniquely impact identity, relationships, and understanding.

Her story speaks to resilience, unseen battles, and the lasting impact of not being believed.

Tarah’s journey… 💛

"For years, she was told it was normal.
Normal to have excruciating pain with her cycle.
Normal to be exhausted for days.
Normal to push through.

By her junior year of high school, she knew something wasn’t right. She did her own research and realized her experiences weren’t normal — they were common. And common does not mean acceptable.

It took years to be believed. Years before someone finally said, “This isn’t just bad cramps.” By the time endometriosis had a name in her life, she had already endured three surgeries. The physical pain was sharp and relentless.

But the dismissal? That was emotional. It made her question her instincts. Chronic pain reshaped her identity. It taught her to calculate every commitment against the possibility of a flare-up. To measure her energy like currency. To grieve the version of herself who once said yes without hesitation. She watched other women move freely — building careers, traveling, planning families — without negotiating their bodies. She wondered if she was behind. Broken. Less capable."

Her story reflects the weight of being dismissed, the toll of chronic pain, and the strength it takes to redefine yourself on your own terms.

Some Endometriosis Patients Are Changing Their Diets to Manage Symptoms

Endometriosis is underresearched and underdiagnosed. Providers and patients alike are trying a more holistic approach—but does it work?

Adanze Benjamin spent the end of 2024 feeling terrible. The lymph nodes in her armpits had swelled to the size of golf balls. Walking up the stairs left her winded. Every inch of her body ached.

“ I literally would wake up in a pool of sweat in my bed, like soaked,” said Benjamin, now 24.

All of her symptoms pointed to lymphoma, a type of cancer that affects the infection-fighting white blood cells in the body. But her biopsy showed no trace of cancer. Instead, she was diagnosed with stage-four lymphatic endometriosis…

“ Endometriosis is a disease that we don’t understand a lot about,” said Dr. Ashley Davis, an OB-GYN and endometriosis excision specialist based in Atlanta.

But what experts do know is that the condition is an inflammatory disease.

“There’s tissue that’s not supposed to be there inside the, in general, pelvis,” said Dr. Jessica Opoku-Anane, a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon at Rutgers Health/Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey.
