@blackgemspeaks: A few months ago, I talked about Lupita Nyong’o’s fibroid advocacy in the past tense. She had surgery in 2014 to remove 23 fibroids. She survived it. She spoke about it. And she turned her experience into advocacy. But now, her fibroids are back. Doctors have found more than 50. And what’s most striking isn’t just the number. It’s the reality that more than a decade later, her options are still the same: surgery… or hysterectomy. Non-invasive treatments remain limited because the medical progress still hasn’t fully arrived. That’s why she’s speaking out again as someone who overcame fibroids and still living with them. She’s pushing for research, better treatments, and real options because the system hasn’t changed in 12 years. 📽 The Today Show #Fibroids #FibroidsAwareness #BlackWomensHealth #WomensHealth #LupitaNyongo
