12 years. 3 doctors. Countless times being told it was “normal,” that I was exaggerating, that it was all in my head.

That’s how long I waited — and how hard I had to fight — before someone finally believed me and said the word: endometriosis. 🎗️

At The Down There Affair, I stood on that stage and told the truth, because I know I’m not the only one. So many of us have lived this — the dismissals, the waiting, the gaslighting, the pain we were taught to carry in silence. Especially in our community, where we don’t talk about these things nearly enough.

But we’re changing that. Out loud. 🗣️

This is just part of my story — I’ll be sharing more pieces of my speech over the next few days, and the full video is coming to my YouTube. 💜

If you’ve ever felt unheard, unseen, or dismissed about your own body — this is for you. You are not crazy. You are not alone. And your pain is real.

🎥 Part 1 of my speech | More to come
💜 Save & share this with a woman who needs to hear it

Thank you @mamba_lifestyle for capturing this moment for me☺️☺️☺️☺️

WHY does the convo always come back to having a kid? As if that’s a magical solution to #endometriosis

@_colaking @mskingskitchen is our guest this week on The DTA Podcast and we’re so glad she brought this up, because it’s unfortunately something that a lot of us have experienced.

You haaaave to listen to this episode, especially if you’ve been dismissed again and again (and again 😤) by medical professionals, or told that the solution to your pain is pregnancy.

‼️🚨 AND MAKE SURE TO REGISTER FOR THE DOWN THERE AFFAIR! We’re just 11 days out, and @mskingskitchen will be there on stage with @milneamyr

Bust out your best undies 🩲 and come get LOUD & walk with us to raise money for @sinaihealthfoundation 💃💃

🩲💜 WE’RE GETTING LOUD.

On September 26th, I’m walking in The Down There Affair — Canada’s first fundraising walk for women’s below-the-belt health. Endometriosis. PCOS. Fibroids. Menopause. All the things we’ve been taught to whisper about. Not anymore. 🗣️

I live with stage 3 endometriosis, and after years of being dismissed and told my pain was “normal,” I’m done being quiet. I’m walking for every woman who’s been made to feel unseen — especially in our community, where these conversations are long overdue.

I’m walking with my team, Crowned Warriors 👑 — and I could not do this without the incredible people and brands already standing with us:
🩲 @tribalcarnival — outfitting our team in these gorgeous panties (yes, I’m wearing them right now! 😉)
🕶️ @phillipsdistillingco — for the raffle + gift bag goodies
💼 @hercollected — a beautiful coaching prize package
✨ @baescapes — for the love and support
📣 @fkbmedia — helping us spread the word
🙌🏾 @coachlaurenmorrison & @wonder.chuck - thank you for your generous donations!

And to every single person who has donated so far and continues to support us — THANK YOU. Your generosity is changing the conversation, and it means everything. 💜

It's Friday — let's fundraise! 💛

Here's a number that should stop you cold: between 2019 and 2023, erectile dysfunction got over $1.24 billion in funding. Endometriosis got $44 million. Same years. 28 times the money.

Here's the reason we're getting loud: endometriosis is just as common — and it starts young. A teenage girl, told it's just a bad period, told it's normal, told to push through — while the money pours somewhere else.

The money exists. That has never been the problem. It just hasn't been coming to women's below-the-belt health — and that's exactly what your ask changes.

So today, we ask 👇

Ask yourself first. No one wants to be the first name on an empty page — so be the one! People give to people who've already given.

Ask your people — make it personal. The group blast gets ignored; the real message gets a yes. Tell them why this one matters to you.

Ask the big one. We all know someone with the means and the heart who's just never been asked. That's not a burden — it's an opportunity they'll be glad you offered. Aim high.

Your fundraising supports Sinai Health Foundation and the work behind the 1 in 8 with PMOS, the 1 in 10 with endometriosis, and the 100% of us who reach menopause.

Together we RAISE.
Together we RISE. 💛

The very first Soul & Spritz hosted by @downhomelove was nothing short of an amazing experience!

From the food and complementary wine and cocktails, to the live entertainment, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and can’t wait for the next one 🫦

P.s. @butterandspicebakeshop feel free to throw any scraps of the plantain cake my way 😩

Soul in the air. Spritz in hand. 🎶🍸

A night designed around good music, good drinks, and even better company.

We loved hosting Soul & Spritz, a ticketed experience by @downhomelove that brought the perfect mix of soulful live music, curated cocktails, and laid-back luxury to Soiree.

Guests could settle into the VIP lounge, choose a vinyl that spoke to them, sip on a drink, and let the music set the mood — while our incredible beverage sponsors kept the spritzes flowing. ✨

From the live band to the vinyl lounge, every detail was created to make the night feel less like an event and more like an experience.

Here’s to nights worth remembering. 🥂

I watched salmon swim upstream today and I haven’t stopped thinking about it. 🐟✨

No GPS. No map. No guarantee of what’s on the other side. Just an unshakeable knowing of where they need to go — and the strength to keep moving there, no matter what’s pushing against them.

There have been plenty of times I questioned this. Plenty of times I thought about stopping, about whether this was the right path, about whether going against the grain made any sense at all.

But the salmon don’t stop. And neither do we.
Ms. King’s Kitchen is going upstream. Against the current, against the doubt, against every voice that said maybe you should slow down or play it safe. We’re going on what feels right. We’re going on what we know.

And we know we need to go up. 👑🔥
Follow us as we go upstream. 🐟⬆️

It’s incredibly powerful to be in a room amongst women who are committed to growing, healing, building, and becoming. 🤎✨

This event was more than a gathering—it was a reminder of what happens when women come together to connect, encourage, celebrate, and pour into one another.

From the conversations and laughter to the beautiful connections, the FOOD, the energy, and even getting the opportunity to be a guest speaker was a day I won’t forget.

Grateful for the women I met, the stories I heard, and the reminder that we are stronger when we support one another.

Here’s to creating more spaces where women feel seen, heard, celebrated, and empowered. 🥂🤎

thank you to the wonderful speakers who had me so engaged with each topic:

@keanelois Financial Consultant
@nseraserra MSW RSW
@drcatherinenewry - Hormonal Health Naturopath

I don’t talk about this enough. But it’s time to get LOUD. 💜

In 2020, I was officially diagnosed with endometriosis. But my story started long before that diagnosis. For over two years I was sitting in doctors’ offices, advocating for myself, telling anyone who would listen that my pain was out of control and that something was truly wrong. I was dismissed. Brushed off. Told to live with it.

By the time someone finally listened — I was already at Stage 3.

No woman should have to fight that hard just to be heard. And in our community especially, this is not something we talk about. That silence is costing us. 💔
So on September 26th, I’m walking with @thedownthereaffair — and I’m asking you to get loud with me. 👟💜

Here’s how you can show up:
