About this episode

Sarah Jakes Roberts and Lupita Nyong'o discuss the impact of uterine fibroids on women's health and the importance of advocacy and awareness.

In this deeply personal and compelling conversation, Sarah Jakes Roberts sits down with Academy Award–winning actress Lupita Nyong'o to shed light on a reality that far too many women endure in silence—living with uterine fibroids. These noncancerous tumors affect up to 80% of women and disproportionately impact Black women, yet they remain largely understudied. After facing this diagnosis herself, Lupita became a catalyst for advocacy, launching the Make Fibroids Count campaign to advance awareness and support research into less invasive treatment options. This episode underscores the critical truth that women deserve access to comprehensive medical resources, informed care, and a future in which our health is addressed with the urgency and seriousness it deserves.
