This event is being undertaken to provide those affected by endometriosis, specifically African American women, to connect and form genuine sisterly bonds with each other. Our organization, Endo Black Incorporated, operates as the catalyst for change in a community that barely acknowledges the hardships of African American women affected by endometriosis.
Right now, there's a lack of awareness surrounding African American women and women of color affected by endometriosis. African American women are constantly misdiagnosed, have limited resources, and have little research on African American women.
Additionally, this event will directly benefit the community by educating the community on the egregious disorder, providing many resources to community members affected by endometriosis, raising awareness of endometriosis, and lastly, providing a safe atmosphere.

The Mini Talk Series is a pilot program under the Health Equity and Racial Injustice (HERI) Target. The pilot program focuses on college-trained women that are menstruating to provide tools for advocacy and educate them. The program will inform individuals of women's reproductive health, encourage them to advocate for themselves, and connect them to resources that will benefit their health and well-being.
By providing young women with resources and tools early on, they'll be able to learn how to become advocates for themselves and others around them. Also, the Mini Talk Series will allow room for more dialogue and growth on navigating college with a chronic illness. Mini Talk Series Pilot Program will be conducted at several colleges and universities such as Morgan State University, Bowie State University, and Howard University.
This will take place during Spring and Fall semesters.

We hope that sharing stories, experiences, tips, and fears will open the floor to learning something new about healthy sex and relationships.
