In light of National Infertility Week ,  I felt that it was important to talk about infertility in the Black Women Community. I know personally that I am not knowledgeable about infertility and because we don’t talk about it. It’s such a delicate subject. So I felt it was important to have a Black woman come to the chair to talk about infertility.

In the guest chair today, on a special episode called Owning Our Truths,  I brought Stacey Brown. Stacey Brown was diagnosed at the young age of 25 with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser. MRKH syndrome is a disorder that occurs in females and mainly affects the reproductive system. This condition causes the vagina and uterus to be underdeveloped or absent, although external genitalia are normal. Which means a woman cannot get pregnant and will deal with infertility.

On this episode Stacey talks about:

• Her diagnosis of MRKH
  
• The lack of information and compassion she received from a male doctor about her condition
  
• How she decided to be an advocate for MRKH
  
• What she wants Black women to know about infertility
