It was time to do what had never been done before. Celebrities, media personalities, policy makers, doctors, faith leaders and community stakeholders all gathered for a private roundtable to discuss the issue of uterine fibroids. This condition will affect 80% of Black women in the US. These statistics should make uterine fibroids a major public health priority. Join us in our new initiative UNMUTING FIBROIDS.
