Understanding Uterine Cancer with Dr. Kemi Doll

Hey lady! This week Dr. Dom and Terri welcome Dr. Kemi Doll, a physician, surgeon, researcher, advocate and author of A Terrible Strength: The Hidden Crisis of the Black Womb & Your Survival Guide to Healing to sit down and talk to us about the importance of caring for our wombs at all stages of life. Dr. Kemi provides an insightful and informative lens as to how the impact of adequate care – and the neglect of such care – can shape Black women’s reproductive health and overall quality of life.

Far too often, Black women’s reproductive health is reduced to the facilitation of producing babies and little more. However, there is a vast array of reproductive issues that affect Black women and those issues are not given the spotlight that they need – particularly uterine cancer, the fastest growing cancer in Black women.

Dr. Kemi gives a historical review of how we collectively arrived to a place where not only is Black women’s maternal health in peril, but we are now facing aggressive concerns in other womb matters. The good news is that with once you are armed with good information you can turn those debilitating aches and pains into a plan to advocate for your health and your needs.  

Lady, you’re going to want to pay close attention because Dr. Kemi is going to lay out the tell-tale symptoms that let you know you’re experiencing abnormal womb health. Good health isn’t given to you, it’s something that you tend to and advocate for your entire lifetime. We know as a Black woman you may be accustomed to pushing through all the random and weird body sensations you may experience but it’s time to tune in and make sure that you’re listening to your temple and treating it as such.

We’re sending you love and positive energy, lady!  

Quote of the Day:
