    "Endometriosis Unveiled: Breaking the Silence, Empowering Women's Health."

    From fear-mongering politics to love-based activism, Katherine, a 24 year old data scientist, activist, and endometriosis warrior, spent the first 18 years of her life being dragged from church to republican events in her rural North Carolina hometown and the next 6 years working to deprogram and decolonize her mind, a process that she says is "an endless and life-saving cycle unlearning and ego-death; one that requires radical honesty with - and empathy for - others and self." Her advocacy work began in 2019 with endometriosis advocacy and has since dominoed into activism for the Free Palestine/Collective Liberation movement.
