Our very own CEO BBCRN has been recognized for her work in changing the narrative around menopause. Her goal for HealthyWomen has always been to provide the highest-quality information to women about menopause because we deserve nothing less.
Earlier this week, Elektra Health, the menopause care and education organization, announced its list of 2021"Menopause Taboo Smashers." I am beyond honored to be included as a menopause advocate alongside such visionary leaders as Dr. Cindy Duke, Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, Margaret Cho, Omisade Burney-Scott and other fierce female trailblazers who break taboos and redefine what is possible for women experiencing menopause.
As a practicing clinician and CEO of HealthyWomen, my goal has always been to provide the highest-quality information to women about menopause and other health concerns specific to their lives. I've also made it my mission to shatter the barriers that keep women from talking about their health frankly and without shame and to use advocacy and education to dismantle the systems and cultural norms that prevent women from taking the best care of themselves.
Yet, for many women, this is not yet possible, especially when it comes to menopause. For too long, women have been reluctant to talk openly about this normal biological condition out of misplaced embarrassment or stigma.
One of our main goals at HealthyWomen is to change this. There is nothing humiliating or shameful about menopause. It's natural. Every woman will go through it. We don't need to talk about it in hushed tones. Helping women comfortably and confidently address the ways menopause affects them is central to everything we do at HealthyWomen. To be recognized for that work now is among the highlights of my career.
Thank you again to Elektra Health for this honor. And a hearty congratulations to all my fellow nominees.
