FROM
OUR
Founder
Dear Esteemed Guests,
As we prepare for the fifth year of our journey with Endo Black Incorporated, I am filled with gratitude for the incredible strides we?ve made and the promising path that lies ahead. In a time where the highest court of the land has sometimes ruled against the very people it?s meant to protect, where dedicated doctors must uproot their lives to pursue their calling, and where individuals grappling with endometriosis often feel lost in a healthcare desert. It is in these moments that our purpose at Endo Black, Inc. becomes even more crucial. Our mission is clear: to advocate for and educate African American women and women of color living with endometriosis and we stand committed to our community, unwavering In our dedication to engage, educate, and encourage endosisters everywhere. As the only Black-led endometriosis organization tailored to serve African American women and women of color, we hold a unique responsibility. Let us not forget the remarkable milestones of the past four and a half years, where we?ve had the privilege to exist. Our work isn?t always adorned in glamour, nor is it without its challenges or expenses. Yet, it is through our unwavering resolve, our steadfast consistency, and ability to shine brightly in every endeavor, that we persistently triumph. To ensure our collective impact continues to grow, let us embrace the following three actions: Empower Through Education: Share knowledge about endometriosis and its effects. Educate others about the challenges and triumphs that come with it. Engage and Uplift: Actively connect with one another. Share your stories, listen, and offer support. Encourage Advocacy: Be a voice for change. Advocate for improved access to healthcare, support research efforts, and champion policies that benefit those living with endometriosis. Extend Your Support: Consider contributing your time, resources, or funds to advance endometriosis programming, research, and initiatives, paving the way for those currently living with endometriosis and for those who need proper diagnosing. As we celebrate our accomplishments and the accomplishments of others, we look ahead to the exciting possibilities that await, let us remember that together, we can do anything. Thank you for being a part of the Endo Black, Inc. community, and for your dedication to our shared cause. In Endo-Sisterly Love,
Lauren R. Kornegay Founder j Executive Director
