We first met Tanya at the Cura-h Awards back in March. Tanya is a UN Women U.K Delegate, a menstrual health educator, a women's health campaigner, a menstrual health consultant, a key note speaker, an ambassador for The Lowdown & the Eve appeal and an Adenomyosis & Endometriosis advocate!Adenomyosis is thought to affect around 1 in 10 women in the UK. It happens when the cells from the lining of the womb are found in the muscle wall of the womb. It differs to the more well-known condition, Endometriosis, where cells similar to the ones in the lining of the womb are found elsewhere in the body.Tanya has lived experience of both these conditions, but when diagnosed she was given no information, treatment or support and that’s why she started The Adeno Gang. Today, she runs workshops to help girls and women get ahead of this. She says, ‘We need to educate ourselves so we can see the right specialists and ask the right questions’. The Book Collective gets us all worked up as we read chapters 1 and 2 of our book for series 10, Unwell Women by Elinor Cleghorn, there’s an awful lot to talk about and we’re only at the beginning! You can join in with our Book Club, send us a DM or voice note with your thoughts on the book.We catch up on your comments and Jinty discovers some west country Shakespeare that you never knew you needed to hear until now!
