I don't want to freak you out, but between 70-90% of people with uteruses WILL get fibroids at some point in their menstruating years. So what do we need to know??

Dr. Soyini Hawkins, gynecologist, minimally invasive surgeon, and founder of the Fibroid and Pelvic Wellness Center of Georgia, answers my technical questions. Tanika Gray Valbrun, founder of The White Dress Project and award-winning journalist, goes deep on community, education, and how we can advocate for ourselves and each other.

They've co-authored a book: From Fibroids to Freedom, From Silence To Strength: https://bookshop.org/p/books/from-fibroids-to-freedom-from-silence-to-strength-tanika-gray-valbrun/6a392db8b6fe38d4?ean=9781399817295&bkshp-astro=t
