Welcome to The "M" Word, a conversation about Perimenopause and Menopause. My name is Katika Quintanilla, I am a 47 year old black woman, navigating the ups and downs of transitioning to Menopause. I started this podcast for women like me, who want to be open about their experiences dealing with Perimenopause and Menopause. There are simply not enough resources available. Removing the stigma of going through Menopause, this is something that all women, will do in their life. There is no way around.
