This has been a long time coming.

For far too long, menopause has been framed in a way that does not reflect the lived realities of Black and Brown women.
We are often missing from the narrative, overlooked in research, and left to navigate this transition in silence.

That changes now.

The Relentless Pause CIC (community-interest company) has been created to redefine how menopause looks and feels for Black and Brown women — one woman at a time.

This work is about visibility.
It’s about representation.
It’s about education.
It’s about advocacy.
And it’s about ensuring women feel seen, heard and supported at every stage of their menopause journey.

Alongside working with organisations to improve understanding, policy and workplace support, the CIC will serve communities where women may not otherwise have access to the education they need to make informed decisions about their menopause experience.

Because knowledge is power.
And no woman should be left behind because of culture, background or lack of access.

This image represents what is possible — Black women thriving, not just surviving.
That is the future we are building.

Follow The Relentless Pause CIC page — and join us on this journey.

This is only the beginning. 🤍

We have created CPD-Accredited training —- The Stigma of Menopause in Black Communities.

When a Black woman says “Black women deserve more”, why is the reflex response so often:

“ALL women deserve more” ?

It’s the same energy as “Black Lives Matter” being met with “ALL lives matter.”

Yes. Of course all lives matter.
Yes. Of course all women deserve more.

But that is not the point — and pretending it is, is part of the problem.

When a Black woman makes the statement that 𝘸𝘦 deserve more, it is not an attack.
It is not excluding.
It is not dismissing anyone else’s struggle.

It is naming a reality.

Because when it comes to being a Black woman, inequity is not the exception — it is the standard.

In healthcare, we sit at the bottom when it comes to culturally competent care.
We are less likely to be believed.
Less likely to be listened to.
More likely to have our pain minimised, our symptoms dismissed, our experiences gaslit.

So when we say Black women deserve more, we are not asking for special treatment.
We are calling out what has 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 been denied.

This isn’t about 𝘺𝘰𝘶.
It’s about a group of women who have been marginalised, stigmatised, ignored, dismissed, and told — repeatedly — that what we are experiencing isn’t real, isn’t serious, isn’t worthy of urgency or care.

Responding with “ALL women deserve more” derails the conversation.
It centres comfort over truth.
And it silences a very specific, very real injustice.

So pause next time.
Listen.
Consider the context.

Because when a Black woman says we deserve more, we are not asking to be corrected.

We are stating a fact.

We deserve more.
Period.
