Endometriosis affects millions, yet so many Black women still struggle to get the right diagnosis and treatment. Earlier this week on #Soulibration on BlackDoctor.org, Dr. Donna Adams-Pickett joined me to talk about the realities of endometriosis, from advocating for yourself for a diagnosis, what to say to the doctors when you feel they aren't listening, and treatment options that don't start out with a hysterectomy. If you missed the live, don't worry, you can still check out our empowering conversation on symptoms, treatment, and the fight for awareness. ???

Advocating for and educating Black women living with or impacted by endometriosis.
关于我们
Endo Black, Inc. is a Black-women-led nonprofit organization advocating for and educating Black women living with and impacted by endometriosis. Our philosophy is to engage, educate, and encourage endo sisters. Currently, there's a complete lack of awareness surrounding AA women and WOC affected by endometriosis. AA women are 50% less likely to be diagnosed with endometriosis. According to the Black Women’s Health Imperative, this is due to providers thinking pain is caused by something else and not having access to proper health care and resources to get help. AA women are constantly misdiagnosed, and there's a lack of resources and research for AA women. And lastly, racial injustice and health equity within the medical community. EB, Inc. provides a solution to the community through creating: 1. a safe atmosphere of support because no one should feel alone. 2. endo-sisterly love, genuine bonds, and friendships. 3. opportunities for education on women’s reproductive health in the community. 4. a dialogue around what policies, laws, and regulations must be changed to meet the needs of women affected by endometriosis. What we do: - Host support groups and private group sessions - Have events such as Mocktails & Cocktails where we discuss intimate topics and how it correlated with endo - Host conferences and meet and greets for community members - Implementation of Community Outreach Programs such as Period Care Initiative - Host programs to discuss racial injustice and health equity and more. Are you interested in hosting your fundraiser event or donating? Or sponsorship and collaboration, you may contact us at [email protected]. If you're looking for a representative to speak to your company organization about Endo Black, Inc., how to support your employees, how to become an Ally, or more, email the founder at [email protected].

1 in 10 women live with endometriosis—yet it takes an average of?7-10 years?to get a diagnosis. While research on endometriosis and racial disparities is limited, studies suggest that?Black women may be less likely to be diagnosed with endometriosis compared to White women, while Asian women may be more likely to have the diagnosis. This #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth, let’s talk about why this matters: *?It’s not "just bad cramps"—it’s a chronic, often debilitating condition. * Misdiagnosis is rampant—many are told it’s "normal" pain, delaying treatment. How can we drive change? * Educate ourselves—myths (like "pregnancy cures it") persist. * Advocate for better care—faster diagnoses, employer understanding, and less stigma. Let's work together to create a more supportive and inclusive environment for those affected by endometriosis. #EndoAwareness #WomensHealth #Endometriosis?#HealthEquity?

This weekend, I had the opportunity to attend UPMC's Empowering the Future of Benign Gynecology: Inclusive, Innovative, and Complex Care Solutions conference for providers and patients as a 2025 Endo Black, Inc. Ambassador! I am so happy my mom, Valerie Gray Francois, MBA, Prosci CCMP was able to join me during #endometriosisawarenessmonth to raise awareness about health disparities within the endometriosis population. As an endometriosis patient and researcher, community health education and outreach is so important for providing patients with resources to navigate this journey.
