She shares how community-driven approaches, peer support, and practical skills training are transforming lives across East Africa, and why ignoring this crisis leaves millions of women vulnerable.Joan also speaks to her broader work in maternal health, governance, women's economic empowerment, and water and sanitation, and how all of it connects to one vision: women who thrive in every area of life.This conversation is for health practitioners, development advocates, social entrepreneurs, and anyone who believes every woman's dignity is worth fighting for.🎙️ The SHE Centre Podcast is produced by SHE Centre, a free digital platform connecting East African women with community, resources, and support.🌍 shecentreplatform.com📲 Follow us @The_SheCentre_Platform on Instagram | TikTok | LinkedIn | Facebook This is exactly why.📍 shecentreplatform.com

From the age of 12, Judith Akite's body was telling her something was wrong. For years, nobody listened.She was told the pain was normal. That heavy bleeding was just part of being a woman. That she should push through. And she did — until a diagnosis of multiple fibroids, blocked tubes, and PCOS forced her to stop and fight for her own body in ways no one had prepared her for.What followed was years of surgeries, scans, difficult results, and the exhausting emotional weight of carrying it all while the world kept moving. At one point, she nearly lost her uterus.But Judith fought. And on the other side of that fight, she found purpose.Today she is a Fertility Coach, Counsellor, and Founder of Moms Qavah — a community now live inside SHE Space on SHE Centre, built for women who are walking a road she knows too well.This is a conversation about pain that was dismissed for too long, faith that held through the hardest nights, and what it looks like to turn your most private battle into something that changes other women's lives.🎙️ The SHE Centre Podcast is produced by SHE Centre, a free digital platform connecting East African women with community, resources, and support.🌍 shecentreplatform.com📲 Follow us @The_SheCentre_Platform on Instagram | TikTok | LinkedIn | Facebook This is exactly why.📍 shecentreplatform.com
