About this episode
“Immediately you say I am menopausal or I’m approaching 40 years, in our culture they will brand you as an old person.”
Do you know what the menopause and perimenopause are?
It can mean hot flushes, sore limbs, brain fog and depression – but the symptoms are almost as varied as women are. All women will go through it – but many people don’t know anything about it.
Two women on the continent who are determined to change that are Irene Ngadire, head of Menopause Initiative Uganda, and Nigerian Sherry Nwadike, who’s going through the menopause herself.
PRESENTER: Mimi Fawaz @mimosafawaz GUESTS: Irene Ngadire and Sherry Nwadike
