About this conversation
How many years would you spend convincing people that your pain is real? For many women across Kenya and Africa, the answer is 7...10...sometimes even 15 years. They're told "It's normal." "You're exaggerating." "You'll grow out of it." "Just get pregnant." Meanwhile, they're losing careers. Relationships. Dreams. Fertility.
In this deeply personal conversation, I sit down with renowned endometriosis specialist Dr. Joe Njagi to ask the difficult questions many women have carried for years.
As someone who has lived through years of unexplained pain, this episode is personal. If this conversation helps just one woman realise her pain deserves answers, then it was worth having. Share this with every woman, and every man in your life. Someone needs this today.
