Living with endometriosis has given me a deep empathy for people with disabilities, particularly non-visible ones.

I have been living in a world that tells me it is okay to have PMDD and ADHD, but that displaying symptoms of PMDD and ADHD is wrong. That ultimately, I am wrong.

If you live with endometriosis, you’ve probably tried or at least considered a long list of things to manage the pain. For many people, that list includes cannabis.

You’re not failing, you’re living with a dynamic disability that affects every part of your life. It’s ok to mourn the things you can’t do.

I wrote a poetry book about my experiences with Endo and I would love girls to read it to feel seen.

As I look back, one theme stands out: statements instead of questions. Statements that closed doors instead of opening them. Statements that shaped my beliefs about my body, my worth, my identity.

How much pain is too much pain?

What does empathy really look like in endometriosis care?
Not just from partners, but from the healthcare system that is meant to support us.

When those voices tell me I’m a burden, I remind myself it’s not true.

I’m proud of impacting over 40,000 school girls in Ghana through education and empowerment programs.

In India, conversations around periods are often hushed; in the UK, despite more openness, education and inclusivity around menstruation still had a long way to go.

IUDs can be life-changing — but the reality is that not everyone’s experience looks the same. For some, it brings relief from heavy periods and peace of mind around birth control. For others, it’s marked by pain, complications, or feeling dismissed by providers.

I think in the future, there's so much hope for women with endo.

Pain: we’ve all felt it, but most of us have no idea how it actually works, especially when it’s chronic or linked to conditions like endometriosis. Here’s a hint: pain isn’t always about ‘damage.’ In fact, your brain has a starring role.

For a long time, I thought movement had to look a certain way to “count.”

My story begins from as young as 9 or 10. I recall coming home from school and just collapsing from back pain, wondering why no one else was as fatigued as I was.

I do this for every woman and person who's been told their pain is "normal,"
