“Your womb wants to work for you.”- Samantha Denäe (Endo Educator). This week Mandii B is joined by the Endo Educator, Samantha Denäe. Samantha shares her period journey and the years it took to finally be diagnosed with Endometriosis. During Samantha's teenage years into her young adulthood she suffered from debilitating periods to the point where she would have to miss school or work due to the pain. Multiple doctors told Samantha that pain during her period was just something she would have to deal with and would lessen as she got older or pregnant. For years Samantha treated herself with over the counter pain pills that never seemed to work.  At 24 after going to the emergency room during a painful period, where she couldn't even walk and almost overdosed on codeine, she finally was connected with a clinic and doctor who listened to her. The doctor asked 3 questions that changed Samantha's life and finally gave her the diagnosis of Endometriosis. Samantha gives us a vivid look into her journey of learning at 24 that Endometriosis caused her fertility had decreased 50%, dealing with having those conversations in romantic relationships, the depression that ensued and the trauma healing that she had to do to become the Endo Educator.    In this episode we discuss: - Endometriosis - Samantha seeking out other Black people dealing with Endometriosis - Becoming the Endo Educator  - Advocating for yourself with medical professionals - Educating students on period health care  - Trauma manifesting in your womb - Healing your own trauma      Connect with Us: @fullcourtpumps @OfficialBoxOwner Connect with my Guest: @_samanthadenae_ @entouchwombcare Linktr.ee/_samanthadenae_

“If you feel the pain is abnormal, you don't have to rationalize it— you can just ask for help.” - Yancy Chery This week, I am joined by a multidisciplinary artist and educator in intimacy, relationships, and sex Yancy Chery. Yancy shares the importance of validating the pain she felt and trusting her body when it signaled to her that something was abnormal. She tells us about how her paralyzing abdominal pain sent her into a state of panic and how the nervousness and hysteria of the people around her simply exacerbated the situation. After being rushed to the hospital doctors couldn't identify the cause of the pain and sent her home with a prescription for Naproxen. Shockingly, Yancy later learns that her pain may have been caused by a double ovarian cyst rupture and that this phenomenon was “common” amongst many women. Without the proper sexual and reproductive education, many women can suffer from anxiety caused by the lack of information about their bodies. Many women may also learn to minimize their pain caused by the fear of drawing too much attention to themselves forcing them to push aside their own pain to console the people attempting to console them. Let's normalize sexual and reproductive conversations with our family and friends. It can legitimately save lives.

A woman’s vagina is a very magical place. It has the ability to bring life into this earth, form inexplicable intimate bonds, communicate in ways words never could, and it even has the ability to form art.

On this week’s episode I am joined by a very talented artist who specializes in painting the vagina, Shawn G. Shawn G creates original art pieces showcasing the beauty of the vagina in unconventional ways. One of my favorite pieces has been a clit shaped money clip. Yeah... you read that correctly…A CLIT SHAPED MONEY CLIP. Tune in to hear us talk about: - The normalization of men genitals and masturbation as opposed to women - The shaming that accompanies women masturbating - The obstacles that Shawn G faces because of the content of her art - The concept behind her famous pieces of art - Instagram shadowbanning Shawn G’s content even when her work is animated Links mentioned: ShawnGoriginals.com Use promo code BOXOWNER for 25% off 1st order Vice Article: https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkd47z/drawings-of-vaginas-could-land-an-artist-with-a-six-year-jail-sentence ————————————— Connect with me: @officialboxowner @fullcourtpumps info@officialboxowner.com www.officialboxowner.com Connect with our guest: @mrsoriginals

At the age of 37, the doctor told me, “You have the body of a 51-year-old post-menopausal women” - Melissa Felix If that sentence shocked you as much as it shocked me, you’ll be even more surprised to hear that it’s more common than you think. A missed period here and there, and hot flashes that we dismiss as "dehydration” can be our body's way of signaling a larger problem for us to address. In this episode, we will unpack what premature ovarian failure (POF) is with our special guest Melissa Felix. 

Melissa bravely shares her journey about undergoing menopause earlier than she anticipated and her “trial & error” fiasco with the doctors that she saw. The vulnerability and misfortune with seeking proper diagnosis brought both the guest and myself to tears! Please make it a priority to get a reoccurring check-up and seek preventative care. Please share this episode with a friend so they can prioritize their health also.
