She-EO's on Air - July Session
Women's Health: Fibroids, Stress, Infertility & Marriage
Some of the most important conversations women need are often the ones we avoid having. Yet when we create safe spaces to learn, ask questions, and share experiences, we empower ourselves with knowledge, hope, and practical tools for healthier lives.
Join us for the inaugural She-EO's On Air as we bring together leading voices to discuss women's health through honest, informative, and compassionate conversations. Together, we'll explore the realities surrounding fibroids, stress, infertility, and marriage while addressing common misconceptions and highlighting pathways to support and healing.
The session will also feature our fun Africa 101 segment before the conversation begins and will be streamed live for women across the globe.
Together, we will:
Gain expert insights into women's health and wellbeing
Learn practical strategies for managing stress and prioritizing self-care
Explore the realities of fibroids, infertility, and relationships
Ask questions in a safe and engaging environment
Connect with women navigating similar journeys
Because informed women make empowered decisions, and no woman should have to navigate these conversations alone.
