Faith & Fibroids

We want to start a conversation on Uterine Fibroids (UF) due to the lack of dialogue, and racial disparities for Black women dealing with Fibroids. We’ll share our experiences with UF, & how we applied our faith to our unique situations, and more.

Resources mentioned in this episode:

• The White Dress Project - raises awareness and provide support, education, hope, for women living with fibroids
• Black Women, Fibroids, and Heavy Bleeding - Getting control of heavy menstrual bleeding from fibroids.
