MENSTRUALTOPIA: THE STATE OF THE BLACK UTERUS
Event Information
About this Event
22 fibroids later, Vanessa Siverls became the FoundHer and CEO of not only her own body but also a startup called BUPeriod, a lifestyle brand in femtech, that helps girls, women and all who menstruate to learn, manage and effectively communicate their menstrual health.
One out of three Black in the United States are uterine fibroid carriers. More and more Black and brown women are facing a sobering decision when their menstrual health has been compromised; to keep or not to keep their uterus.
