Menopause: The Truth

What an amazing event! I am so glad I came. Why don’t we learn this at school? I’ve been to five other menopause talks to try and understand what was happening. After this one, I don’t need to go to anymore.

The MAC Centre in Edgbaston, Birmingham become the hub of Menopause education on Sunday 27th January 2024. The event was hosted by the Menopause Group CIC, accompanied by Aamilah Begum from Menopause Talk CIC. The room was full of people looking to learn and understand what it means to menopause, particularly as a person of faith. We lead them on an educational journey through The Story of Menopause – from periods to perimenopause and beyond. Aamilah talked about her lived experience of both chemical menopause and surgical menopause. As a woman of colour and faith the elements that impact her and many others, are rarely talked about and understood. The audience resonated with everything she said and were inspired to empower themselves with understanding the menstrual health timeline, as explained by Fiona.
