Endometriosis, activism, and self-care

Valian Fawn Walker-Montgomery’s memoir connects her experience of living with endometriosis to community activism and the social forces shaping Black women’s health. The account also describes a personal shift: unlearning white supremacy and embracing African spiritual practices, including Hoodoo, as part of a path toward healing. Radical self-care is presented as a challenge to the “superhero syndrome” and as a way to claim self-love and personal power. The book brings these subjects together through an individual story that places health, race, patriarchy, spirituality, and activism in conversation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in memoirs about living with endometriosis and Black women’s health.
  • Readers exploring the intersections of community activism, race, patriarchy, and self-care.
  • Readers interested in African spiritual practices, including Hoodoo, as described in a personal healing journey.

HEALING IN THE FIGHT: A Black Woman's Journey With Endometriosis and Radical Self-Care is a powerful memoir. Fawn Walker-Montgomery candidly shares her experiences of living with endometriosis while navigating community activism, highlighting how she had to unlearn white supremacy and embrace African spiritual practices, like Hoodoo, as pathways to healing. She explores the intersections of race, Black women's health, and patriarchy.

 

Black women must practice radical self-care in order be liberated from the superhero syndrome. For us to heal we must love ourselves and step into our own power.
