Our Partners

Recent studies in 2023 continue to highlight a concerning reality: African American women diagnosed with endometriosis often confront more complex clinical health conditions compared to their White counterparts. Recognizing the urgency to address this disparity, Endo Black, Inc. is dedicated to bridging the gap. The Empowering Endo Sistas campaign strives to raise awareness and provide accessible resources, fostering more accurate diagnoses for African American women navigating endometriosis and encouraging active patient involvement in their healthcare. By challenging outdated narratives and advocating for informed healthcare practices, our organization, in collaboration with partners, aims to narrow the existing gaps in endometriosis awareness and diagnosis. *
