Many women suffer from endometriosis. Sometimes it gets hard to remember that. Seeing your illness connected to someone, especially someone with influence, can be a reminder you need to not feel alone. I encourage anyone reading this to please check out the speeches linked and look into these celebrity's stories. Although they may be different experiences, they are all very similar. Each story shows the lack of education and research on endometriosis.
