@breezeharper This is an important and empowering conversation to have. Some dietary tips, to help navigate this phase with resilience, I have found.
Protein Sources, including lean meats, fish, eggs, tofu, lentils, and Greek yogurt. Protein shakes or powders (plant-based or whey) can help as supplements. Phytoestrogens: Foods like soy (tofu, edamame), flaxseeds, and chickpeas can help mimic estrogen and alleviate symptoms. Calcium and Vitamin D: Essential for bone health. Dairy, fortified plant milk, leafy greens (e.g., kale, collards), and fatty fish. Omega-3s in salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds reduce inflammation and improve mood. Magnesium-Rich Foods: Found in nuts, seeds, spinach, and dark chocolate, magnesium supports sleep, mood regulation, and muscle function, e.t.c
Every journey is unique.

@breezeharper, Thank you for sharing this important and personal perspective! It’s so necessary to have spaces where people can openly discuss their experiences with perimenopause and menopause, especially when it intersects with identity and cultural nuances like being a Black woman in the U.S.
You’re absolutely right — there’s a noticeable gap in accessible, culturally sensitive information and care for menopause that addresses the unique experiences of Black women. For example, research has shown that Black women often report more intense symptoms and may experience menopause earlier than other groups. However, these realities are often overlooked in mainstream conversations or healthcare settings.
Creating this space is an empowering step toward fostering community, breaking stigmas, and addressing the specific challenges many face, from systemic healthcare disparities to cultural taboos about aging or discussing reproductive health.
I’d love to hear more about your journey and what topics you think should be prioritized in these conversations. Whether it’s symptom management, navigating healthcare, or just finding solidarity, your initiative is powerful and much needed. How can others best contribute to or benefit from this space?

AFROTECH represents a powerful opportunity for Black women to connect, learn, and grow within an environment that celebrates their identity and achievements. The fact that such events inspire discussion highlights their importance in challenging outdated corporate norms. Rather than being seen as disruptive, these spaces should be celebrated as essential for fostering creativity, innovation, and equity in the workplace. The courage of those who attend AFROTECH despite potential backlash is a testament to the resilience and determination of Black women to claim their rightful space in tech and beyond.

La afirmación de que la Generación Z es la generación con la que resulta más difícil trabajar tiene múltiples facetas y amerita un debate matizado.

Recomendable para @KempPowers y @PeterRamsey por intentar aumentar la inclusión y la representación en la industria de la animación. 💯!!

El álbum es una aventura artística poderosa y ambiciosa, que sigue el estilo singular de Beyoncé. Ella afirma el lugar que le corresponde en el género, aprovechando su talento incomparable como la única estrella pop con su increíble influencia.
Levi’s also altered its name on Instagram to “Levii’s” by appending an additional “i” to correspond with the title of the song.
Cultural revolution, right there!!!

@SUCULTURA Thank you for publishing this. What Dr. Candia-Bailey and others have experienced is sadly the reality for most Black women professionals in the US, UK, Europe and elsewhere. The health and cost implications are far too great to ignore. As mentioned in your article, these stories must inspire us to do more, and be more intentional in Collective Action.
DO.
