Power in the Pause with @blkwomenshealth -an organization doing incredible work to advance the health and well-being of Black women and girls. If you’re not following them, please do! I felt honored to share my perspective on the psychological, emotional, and sexual shifts that can accompany perimenopause and menopause, and how we can empower women to navigate this season feeling informed, equipped, and confident in their ability to advocate for themselves—and pivot into new versions of themselves that are still deserving of pleasure, fulfillment, and possibility. The pause is the beginning of a powerful new chapter. A chance to reconnect with yourself, finally revisit the things you’ve been putting off, and evolve into the next version of you. We can make room for what we need to grieve while embracing the opportunity to reset, rediscover ourselves, and experience pleasure in new ways. A few special shout-outs: - all the amazing women in attendance and who I connected with @iamlisacunningham , Thank you for the invitation to be part of such an important conversation! @thejoyd_ , President of the Black Women’s Health Imperative and my soon-to-be new bestie, LOL!

I was hanging on to every one of your words! @jessicashepherdmd, my fellow panelist and board-certified OB/GYN — Thank you for sharing your expertise and such rich, valuable information.

Let’s talk about the stuff nobody really prepared us for. Perimenopause. Menopause. The mood shifts. The sleep changes. The body changes. The “wait, is this normal?” moments 🫠 I’m excited to moderate Power in the Pause LA with the Black Women’s Health Imperative and be part of a real conversation about what women are experiencing before, during, and beyond menopause. Just honest conversation, real experts, and the kind of information we should have had a long time ago. Tag someone in LA and tell them to join us October 6 at Top of the Hub. Mixer starts at 6 PM. The panel begins at 6:30 PM. Register at powerinthepause-LA.bwhi.org LA, come through. It’s time to talk about it. #PowerInThePause #BlackWomensHealthImperative #Perimenopause #Menopause #MidlifeHealth

👑 For black women in perimenopause, tired of guessing what their body is doing, there’s finally a space built just for you. Today I sat in a room and heard @doctorshelia explain something that changed how I think about HRT: “It’s there to slow the change, not stop the change. Think of it like this, if your car’s about to crash at 100 miles an hour, HRT means you crash at 30 instead. You’re still changing, but the rate slows.” She also talked about root-centered care and how this is a systems-wide transition, not just hot flashes and missed periods. 🌿 Everything from our joints to our sleep to our gut is connected to what our hormones are doing. I felt crazy too❣️ So many of us have been medical gaslit into thinking what we’re feeling isn’t real. Representation matters, and so does educating ourselves instead of waiting for someone else to connect the dots. I also got to connect with @menopause_made_modern founder Kamili Wilson, @iamlisacunningham, director of “Me Period,” and @ifeomaseesu, whose research showed that 41% of Black women 35+ say their provider never even brought up menopause. Also linked up with @thejoyd_ and @enviablezsanai from @blkwomenshealth, moderator @adriannahopkins, Congresswoman @repmcclellan, and @rachsneed from Bayer. Whew child, when I say I left Power In The Pause floating. This is what sisterhood and community are supposed to feel like. 🫶🏾 It’s called Reclaim the Pause. ✨ Comment RECLAIM and I’ll send you the link 💜 Tanya
