With this month being Women's History Month, there are a lot of conversations being had about the plight and the power of women. Yet, there is one conversation that continues to be discussed in hushed tones, infertility. As very young girls, we have been taught that our worth is measured by our ability to marry and have babies, there are so many reasons why this narrative is damaging. As black women, we are the descendants of the women who had their choices made for them and their life paths mapped out before they could walk. ​

With us still being in full swing of women’s month I wanted to delve into a topic that us women can really relate to and that is our cycles.
​
Whether your cycle causes you slight discomfort to excruciating pain, all of us I’m sure would be open to ways in which these annoyances could be reduced, making the transition from one stage to the other more comfortable.

Happy Women’s History Month, as we take time to celebrate the women in all our amazing grace, strength, and beauty. The best part of Women’s History Month is we are transitioning from Black History Month, and all the feelings of being empowered. The popular social media sound, “It’s a beautiful day to be a black woman” serves as the vibe for March.
