Ep. 25: Real Life with Monique Farook: Navigating infertility and racism

Monique walked into a fertility clinic, a time when we are often our most vulnerable selves, and she was treated differently than another couple in the clinic... because she was black.

In today’s episode, we are continuing the hard (and necessary) conversation about racism and infertility and how racism extends far beyond treatment in a fertility clinic lobby.

While Monique Farouk, host of the Infertility and Me Podcast, is making a profound impact on social media and via her podcast, she’s also sitting down with us in today’s episode to talk about her personal journey with infertility, navigating racism, and ultimately providing space and hope for others (and she does all of this with a big slice of humor too)!
