Black and Menopausal

Intimate Stories of Navigating the Change
This is an intimate, empowering collection of stories focussing on Black experiences of menopause. Each story centres lived experiences and contains contributions from a diverse range of people spanning various heritages, sexual orientations, gender identities, and ages allowing for a nuanced understanding of this rite of passage.

"This is our voice, these are our truths, and our stories deserve to be told."

This deeply empowering and personal collection of stories brings together a wide range of Black experiences on the menopause journey. Drawing on the historical and cultural importance of storytelling traditions in African and Caribbean ancestry, this anthology breaks through a taboo topic that has too often been mired in shame and silence with courage and vulnerability.

Contributions span across various heritages, sexual orientations, ages, and gender identities, curating an intimate treasury of journeys full of honesty, pain, healing, and liberation. Topics on emotional, mental, and sexual health as well as complementary therapies are all discussed with empathy and sincerity, allowing readers to broaden their depth of understanding on the experiences of Black people impacted by the menopause.
