Description

Lady, if you have been listening to the podcast for a bit, you know in our introduction we mention we discuss topics ranging “from fibroids to fake friends." Today Dr. Joy Cooper joins us in the H.E.R Space Sanctuary to drop her "TED Talk" on fibroids and its impact specifically on women of the diaspora. In this episode, Dom and Dr. Joy share their personal experiences with fibroids that many of us could either relate to ourselves or know someone who can. In this candid conversation with Terri and Dom, Dr. Joy dispels some of the myths about our gynecological health and encourages us to make informed decisions about our fertility. This is definitely an episode you will want to listen to and share with others.    Quote of the Day: “I think the number one thing Black women and all Black people should be paying attention to is our health.” -bell hooks   Takeaways: Advocate and seek a second opinion Do no harm  Know your normal  Your network determines your net worth    Instagram: @thedrjoy Daughters of the Diaspora  Culture Care   Resources: Melanin and Mental Health Therapy for Black Girls  Psychology Today Therapy for QPOC   Where to find us: Twitter: @HERspacepodcast Instagram: @herspacepodcast Facebook: @herspacepodcast Website: herspacepodcast.com Email: herspacepodcast@gmail.com H.E.R Space Sanctuary: https://www.facebook.com/groups/herspacesanctuary/  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
