Some moments transcend words. 🇳🇬❤️ This is a glimpse of one of the greatest honors of my life. I was bestowed the traditional titles of Yeye Oba of Imo Kingdom and Yeye Atayase in Osun State, Nigeria. More of this journey… soon. #Osun #Yoruba #Chief #FolakeOlowofoyeku

For 25 years, endometriosis was a silent companion in my life. The pain was physical. The impact was mental. The journey was emotional. In #EndOfTheCycleFilm, I share my story; not because it’s unique, but because it isn’t.

My hope is that by telling the truth about what this disease takes from us, we can help create a future where fewer women have to suffer in silence. Watch End of the Cycle at endocollective.org or through the link in @EndOfTheCycleFilm’s bio.

Millions of women are still fighting to be properly treated. More than 265 million women worldwide are living with endometriosis. We deserve to be heard. We deserve answers. We deserve better.

She stated it made her uncomfortable and that’s why the call button was there when I said I was just trying to get her attention. I respect boundaries, but the interaction felt odd—almost got argumentative. Was tapping really inappropriate? Curious what others would’ve done.
