Today, Oyinkan shares with us what she's grateful for
Even as we continue to share the experiences of women who have dealt with fibroids, awareness of fibroids remains low. Lack of access, education, and resources, along with stereotypes and negative past experiences in healthcare settings, play a significant role in the number of women who go undiagnosed. Therefore, the topic of fibroids is one thing that we will never stop talking about to raise awareness about the disease in our community. Data from Michigan Medicine shows that “Nearly a quarter of Black women between 18 and 30 have fibroids compared to about 6% of white women, according to some national estimates. By age 35, that number increases to 60%. Black women are also two to three times more likely to have recurring fibroids or suffer from complications.” There is a dire need for more education and discussion on this topic to help raise awareness and sensitize our community. So, today, our guest will give us a different perspective on her personal experience with fibroids. Be inspired! Meet Our Guest : Oyinkan Ogundele is a 3-time fibroid survivor. After a 3rd open myomectomy, which happened to be her 4th major surgery, she became free of multiple Uterine Fibroids in November 2018. She is passionate about helping women who suffer from fibroids and other reproductive health conditions. My Gynae Issues Foundation (“My Gynae”) was conceived as a result of her desire to build a support system/ advocacy group for fibroid sufferers. The foundation also serves as a much-needed community for women with reproductive health challenges. In Africa, women often find it difficult to talk about issues affecting their reproductive health - these issues are usually shrouded in secrecy, out of fear and the associated stigma of infertility. So far, the foundation has helped over 300 women and it's doing great with advocating for women's health.

It doesn't have to be a death sentence and not all fibroid cases end up with surgery.” – Oyinkan Ogundele “People should not be desperate to start trying things that are not tested be it herbs or pharmaceutical drugs. Before you take anything that's said to cure fibroids – please don't ask someone who's taken it before. Rather ask those questions to your doctor who is specialized in that field before taking in anything.” – Oyinkan Ogundele LEAVE A REVIEW and tell us what you think about the episode so we can continue putting out the best content just for you!

The Unthank sisters, writers Lucy Holland and Oyinkan Braithwaite and historian and feminist activist Sally Alexander join Shahidha Bari for a conversation about what it means to be a sister on International Women's Day 2022. You could make a family from recent novels depicting sisterhood from Oyinkan Braithwaite's My Sister the Serial Killer, to Daisy Johnson's Sisters and Brit Bennett's The Vanishing Half but literary sisterhood goes back via Jane Austen and the Brontës to Chekhov, King Lear's daughters, Cinderella and Greek myths about the seven sisters who formed the Pleiades, or Antigone and Ismene. And if you're looking at feminist history the idea of the sisterhood has been a cornerstone of political action. Is it right that sisters will have a particular bond and sound if they perform music together? All of this and more in tonight's Free Thinking conversation. The Unthank sisters will be on tour with their latest album Sorrows Away visiting a range of venues from Norwich, Poole, Northampton, Middlesborough, Belfast, Edinburgh, Dublin and a range of places in between starting on March 13th in Lincoln Lucy Holland has written Sistersong set in Anglo-Saxon Britannia. She also presents Breaking the Glass Slipper, a podcast celebrating women in genre. You can hear a reading of Oyinkan's novel My Sister the Serial Killer by Weruche Opia on BBC Sounds https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/series/p08q6q19 Sally Alexander, Professor Emerita at Goldsmiths, is founding editor of the History Workshop Journal and is working on a history of psycho-analysis. Producer: Kevin Core You might also be interested in the most recent episode of Radio 3's Words and Music on Sisters, with its curated playlist of readings and music of all kinds ranging from Wordsworth, Jane Austen, Brit Bennet and Arifa Akbar to Fanny Mendelssohn, Errollyn Wallen, Hildegard of Bingen and the Labeque Sisters performing Ravel.

Oyinkan Braithwaite's 2018 novel My Sister, the Serial Killer is the story of two sisters, Korede and Ayoola, who live in Lagos, Nigeria. Korede is a hard working nurse, who cares deeply about her patients and her family, in particular her sister, who she feels protective of after a difficult childhood. It could be a sweet family novel, except for the small fact that Ayoola can't stop killing her boyfriends. And dutiful Korede is always there to help her clean up the mess. Life, however, becomes much more complicated when Ayoola begins dating a doctor at Korede's hospital, someone Korede has deep romantic feelings for. And so begins the story of My Sister, the Serial Killer. Interview with Braithwaite from Politics and Prose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcfCcOfpF08&app=desktop

A darkly comic page-turner, My Sister, the Serial Killer by Nigerian author Oyinkan Braithwaite is one of the most talked-about novels of the year and was longlisted for the Booker Prize. It's a tale of two sisters – one an enabler, and the other in the middle of a killing spree – that subverts roman noir and sisterhood tropes. The New York Times calls it “a bombshell of a book – sharp, explosive, hilarious”. Oyinkan chats with Rebecca Harkins-Cross.
Oyinkan Braithwaite is a graduate of Creative Writing and Law from Kingston University. She is the author of My Sister, the Serial Killer, which won the 2019 LA Times Award for Best Crime Thriller, the 2019 Morning News Tournament of Books and was shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction 2019, and, most recently, was longlisted for the Booker Prize.

Do you really know the person you're dating? Kim Chakanetsa talks to two acclaimed female authors whose stories shine a harsh light on the duplicity of romantic relationships. Kristen Roupenian is the author of Cat Person, which became the first short story to ever go viral when it was published in the New Yorker in 2017. It's the tale of a young woman's brief relationship with an older man, and it sparked an online debate about consent, unwanted sex and honesty when dating. Cat Person is included in Kristen's book of short stories, You Know You Want This. Oyinkan Braithwaite is the writer of the novel My Sister, The Serial Killer. It's the story of two Nigerian sisters, one of whose boyfriends somehow keep ending up dead. Oyinkan says the murderous and stunning Ayoola has become an unlikely heroine for some readers, and that she is very interested in exploring the superficial nature of romantic liaisons, which lead to women's physical beauty often being their most powerful asset.
