Menopause is inevitable—struggling through it shouldn’t be. Menopause isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. But you probably wouldn’t know that from the way it’s researched, discussed and treated. 

The reality?  Black women enter perimenopause earlier, experience more severe symptoms and face greater barriers to care. Yet, our experiences are rarely centered in conversations about midlife health. 

Every time a patient talks to me about perimenopause, I hear a different story. Perimenopause isn’t one single narrative, it’s thousands of women describing what it feels like when their bodies shift in ways that are disruptive, confusing, and often invisible to others.
