I am soooo GLAD that this topic is coming to light 💡Endometriosis is considered a “White Woman’s” illness which can delay a clear diagnosis in the Black & Brown community for up to 10+ years. Because it isn’t taken as seriously with us, by this time it can already be too late🎗
The purpose of this resource portal is for people of color who are experiencing pain and suspect they may have endometriosis to receive the correct information and hear from patients who look like them and have had similar experiences with the disease.
