Summary

In this deeply personal and compelling conversation, Sarah Jakes Roberts sits down with Academy Award–winning actress Lupita Nyong'o to shed light on a reality that far too many women endure in silence—living with uterine fibroids. These noncancerous tumors affect up to 80% of women and disproportionately impact Black women, yet they remain largely understudied. After facing this diagnosis herself, Lupita became a catalyst for advocacy, launching the Make Fibroids Count campaign to advance awareness and support research into less invasive treatment options. This episode underscores the critical truth that women deserve access to comprehensive medical resources, informed care, and a future in which our health is addressed with the urgency and seriousness it deserves.

I want you to ask yourself, what are all of these things that are inside me?

having a cavity and taking out all your teeth. It's too severe an option for it to be the first one.

evolve podcast. I'm so excited for today's episode i really feel

0:40.1

like it's going to be one that allows you to consider your body and your health and ways that you

0:45.8

could not have imagined if you are just joining us or you haven't been keeping track all this month

0:51.4

we've been talking about the history of women's history. And we're doing

0:55.2

something a little bit different in the previous episodes. I did a devotional talking about

0:59.6

different women who have made history, whether they were women from the Bible or women from

1:04.6

modern day and how they made history. But I want to talk today about something a little bit

1:10.3

different. I want us to talk

1:12.1

about the history of women's history as it relates to our health and taking care of our bodies,

1:17.9

which I feel like is something that we don't often talk about, partly because there's not a

1:22.7

whole lot of research about it, and it has become somewhat taboo. So if you don't mind, I'm going to take you a little

1:29.1

bit deeper, maybe into some uncharted territory for some of you or familiar territory for the

1:34.9

others. But before we go there, you know, we've been talking about going rogue and when you talk
