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.

Remembering two women whose partnership helped shape the movement for women’s equality.

Dorothy Pitman Hughes and Gloria Steinem stood together in activism, community, and the fight for women’s rights, reminding us of the power of partnership across race, experience, and generations.

Dorothy passed in 2022. Today, we mourn the loss of Gloria Steinem.

Thank you, Dorothy and Gloria, for the work you dedicated to creating change and for the movements you helped inspire. Your legacy lives on. 🖤

When Miss Uganda Trivia Elle Muhoza took the Miss World 2026 stage, she wore “Layers of Life,” a gown inspired by the seven layers involved in a C-section and the incredible process the body goes through to bring life into the world.

Designed by KEESHA, a new mom herself, the dress was deeply personal, a celebration of childbirth, womanhood, and the strength behind a procedure that is so common, yet rarely understood for just how physically profound it is.

A C-section is major abdominal surgery, requiring doctors to cut through multiple layers of tissue to reach the uterus and deliver the baby. The recovery can take weeks, making the dress a striking visual representation of just how much a mother’s body goes through during childbirth.

We are proud to see endometriosis advocacy reaching the federal level. 💛

Endo Black, Inc. is proud to stand alongside Congresswoman Nikema Williams and other organizations supporting this important call to action on endometriosis diagnosis and care.

Our community has been raising awareness about the challenges people with endometriosis face—from delayed diagnosis and barriers to care to the need for knowledgeable providers and better access to appropriate treatment.

Having these concerns brought forward at the federal level is an important step, and we are grateful to Congresswoman Williams for helping elevate the voices of those living with endometriosis.

We will continue to advocate, educate, and work toward a healthcare system where people with endometriosis receive the care they deserve.

Nina’s journey… 💛

"Nina’s story begins in a place familiar to many Black women—where reproductive pain is endured quietly, where women survive without explanation, and where silence is passed down like an heirloom. She grew up believing that the extraordinary pain she felt was simply part of her identity as a woman. There were no conversations at home about menstrual health, no warnings that what she was experiencing was not normal, no shared stories that might have guided her to help sooner. The burden was hers to navigate alone.

Endometriosis shaped nearly every part of Nina’s adult life. It drained her energy until even basic tasks became unpredictable battles. She learned to ration her strength, diverting what little she had to her young children, placing motherhood at the center of her survival. Living with multiple chronic illnesses magnified the toll, making work difficult and leaving her wrestling with guilt for needing help so often. But Nina also learned that strength is not measured by what you can do alone—it is measured by the courage to keep moving even when the world cannot see your pain."

Her story speaks to resilience, invisible battles, and the strength it takes to keep going—even when no one else can see what you’re carrying.

How Do I Know If I Have Endometriosis?

Painful periods aren’t something you simply have to “push through.” Pelvic pain, fatigue, painful s*x, heavy periods, and other symptoms may be signs of endometriosis. Listen to your body, ask questions, and don’t be afraid to advocate for answers.

🤣🤣🤣 Okay but let’s be real for a second…

If a doctor says your ONLY option is a hysterectomy—pause. 🛑
Let’s unpack this. 👇🏾

✨ Things to know:
💛 A hysterectomy may help some people with endometriosis — but it is NOT a cure
💛 Endometriosis can live outside the uterus, so symptoms may continue
💛 Pain relief outcomes are not guaranteed
💛 Symptoms like brain fog, nausea, fatigue, and more can still persist

❓ Questions worth asking:
🗣️ Why is this being recommended for my case?
🗣️ What other options exist — and why aren’t they being offered?
🗣️ Will endo outside the uterus be addressed?
🗣️ Should I get a second opinion from an endometriosis specialist?

💛 Informed consent matters.
💛 What works for one person may not work for another.
💛 Your body deserves more than a one-size-fits-all answer.

When your support system really understands what’s up. 👏🏾💛
👇🏾 What are your honest thoughts or experiences with hysterectomy being suggested?

These are some Black women you may know—but what you may not know is that each of these women has openly shared their experience with endometriosis.

Endometriosis doesn’t discriminate by fame, class, talent, beauty, or success. It affects millions—yet Black women and women of color are often less likely to be believed, more likely to be misdiagnosed, and may live with symptoms for years before getting answers.

✨ Some of these women have used their platforms to:
💛 Break stigma around menstrual + reproductive health
💛 Share the realities of living with chronic pain
💛 Advocate for better awareness, care, and research
💛 Remind us that strength can exist alongside struggle
💛 Representation matters
💛 And shared stories help others feel less alone.

Black women with endometriosis deserve to be seen, heard, believed, and properly cared for—period. ✊🏾
