(Takes big breath) đź’šđź’•

Black women experience infertility at nearly twice the rate of white women—yet only 4–7% of Black women utilize IUI/IVF, compared to over 80% of white women.
Despite having a greater need, Black women are significantly less likely to seek or receive fertility treatment due to systemic barriers such as cultural stigma, limited access, provider bias, lack of culturally responsive care, and higher rates of conditions like uterine fibroids and PCOS.

In response to this gap, I created a confidential, private Facebook community exclusively for my sorority sisters đź’šđź’• who may be struggling with infertility or navigating family-building through IUI, IVF, egg freezing, donor eggs, or surrogacy.

This space is designed to offer:
• Support grounded in shared lived experience
• Guidance on accessing treatment and affordable medications
• Emotional and peer-based community
• Trigger-aware and privacy-protective engagement

If this resonates with you or someone you love, feel free to DM me for details.
Membership in the sorority is verified to protect the safety and confidentiality of the group. đź©·đź’šđź’•

You are not alone—and you deserve support that understands you. Reproductive mental health trauma impacts Black people and you or someone you love doesn’t have to be alone.

Happy Founder’s Day to my oh so pretty sorority sisters of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. 💕💚

New year.
New education.
New skills.
New opportunities.
New life changes.
New life boundaries.
More growth. ✨

Quality care requires systems that actually support it. Growth sometimes means choosing what supports the work—and letting go of what doesn’t.

đź’ž Partners Matter in the Infertility Journey đź’ž
Infertility doesn’t just impact one person — it impacts both partners. Through IVF and IUI, emotional support, and countless appointments, love can either bend or strengthen.

Our journey brought us closer. Will was there for every appointment, lifestyle change, injection, and heartbreak. He spoke life into me when I felt my body had betrayed me. Every loss tested us — but it also showed me that partnership means both of us showing up, even when the dream feels out of reach.

Partners are an important part of the infertility and family-building process. They are just as essential in creating a family — emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

To anyone walking this path: you’re not alone, and your love story can still bloom beautifully through the waiting. 🌸
