Description

We're embarking on a new series where we explore various aspects of health! To wave goodbye to its awareness month in March, we're looking into endometriosis, a chronic condition affecting 1 in 10 women in the UK. Suhail had a chance to sit down with journalist Anita Jones (@AnitaNnekaJones) to find out more about her journey with endometriosis - discussing everything from her first experiences of it to her reliance on fluffy water bottles. We hear from Dr Annabel Sowemimo (@SoSowemimo) - a sexual and reproductive health doctor, writer, and founder of Decolonising Contraception (@DecoloniseContr) - a not for profit, community interest group formed by people of colour working within sexual and reproductive health who are devoted to improving the outcomes for marginalised groups. You can find out more about DC on their website. You can read all of the articles written by Annabel on gal-dem Thanks to British Podcast Awards, Wellcome Trust, and everyone that took the time out to chat to us about this.
