Powell noticed that conversations were changing among her friends and colleagues as they were going through menopause, highlighting the impact on health, relationships, and mental health.
Women of color may face challenges with HRT and societal expectations, feeling the pressure to be strong without complaint, which can lead to a lack of empathy when expressing vulnerability.
Financial constraints can limit access to alternative menopause management strategies, making it challenging for some women, like Powell, to afford treatments or memberships for resources like gyms.
Encouraging open conversations about menopause is crucial for support and information sharing, leading to initiatives like the Menopause Alliance and podcasts like Black Menopause and Beyond for peer-led support.
