About this listen

 1 in 10 Black women are living with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)—yet many go years without a diagnosis or the support they deserve. In this powerful opening episode of the Rooted in Violet PCOS Awareness Series, we uncover what PCOS really is, why it’s so often missed in Black women, and how cultural and systemic barriers impact care. Join us as we break the silence on one of the most misunderstood conditions in women’s health. Learn the symptoms, risk factors, and early warning signs—and discover how awareness can lead to self-advocacy, better treatment, and hope for every woman affected.

💜 Rooted in Violet – Rooted in Her, Rising for All.
