When Doctors Dismiss Black Women's Endo Pain | Fawn Walker-Montgomery | EP10

When doctors dismiss Black women's pain, the consequences are devastating. In this episode of Endo Warriors, host Callie Greenberg sits down with Fawn Walker-Montgomery, author of the memoir Healing in the Fight, to trace decades of living with endometriosis, the medical dismissal that nearly cost her life, and the surgery that finally changed her path. Fawn shares how racial bias inside healthcare delayed her diagnosis, the suicidal despair that came with untreated chronic pain, and the intentional healing journey she's built since. She and Callie discuss ancestral practices, breathwork, dietary changes, and the broader fight for Black women in endo advocacy. This conversation is for anyone who has been dismissed by the system, anyone who has ever wondered if their pain was real, and anyone ready to fight for the care they deserve.
