Feedback from In-Person Events:
“We invited Nina to participate as a panellist to discuss the experiences of menopause for Black Women, at our conference for Black Female Professionals and Allies. Her level of preparation and expertise truly stood out, leaving a lasting impression on everyone in the audience. Nina demonstrated an exceptional depth of knowledge on the subject, presenting the latest insights and research with clarity and confidence. Her ability to translate complex information into practical, actionable steps was remarkable. The audience, myself included, left the conference with a newfound understanding of menopause and a set of tangible strategies to enhance our overall experience during this life stage. Her presentation not only enriched our knowledge but also inspired us to take proactive steps towards improving our well-being during this significant phase of life. Nina undoubtedly made a significant difference in how we approach and navigate the menopausal experience.” - SheLeadsLegacy
"We could listen to Nina talk Menopause all day! We can't thank her enough for taking part in our recent NHS Menopause Hub Lunch and Learn week. She provided us with such interesting insight and knowledge into experiencing Menopause as a Black woman and those that attended got so much from the session. It's such important work that Nina is doing, and we are looking forward to working with her closely in the future to help support our colleagues across the NHS. Thank you for sowing such wonderful Meno seeds." - Menopause Hub University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NSH Foundation
“Thank you for such a powerful and thought-provoking presentation. You genuinely taught me a lot and opened my eyes to my own ignorance.” - Government of Wales
"Thank you for all your help with arranging the speakers for our event today, It was very successful and informative." - Which?
“Nina brought a wealth of knowledge and an engaging speaking style. Her presentation was not only informative but importantly, she opened up the conversation about a topic that is often brushed under the rug, creating a safe and welcoming environment for discussion. She debunked myths, clarified how intersectionality plays such a huge part in people's menopause experiences, and provided practical solutions for employers, colleagues and family/friends. Her insights and real-life examples made our people feel comfortable continuing the conversation after the session finished. I wholeheartedly recommend Nina as a speaker on menopause and the intersectionalities within it. Thank you, Nina!” - Foundry
"I was fascinated by Nina's talk which really helped me to understand some of the additional challenges faced by black women who are experiencing the menopause. Her description of the significance of the scarcity of black role models in the UK, particularly resonated with me. Her address was clear, insightful, well-illustrated and relatable."
“Nina delivered a session for our colleagues in celebration/ awareness raising around Black History Month and World Menopause Day. Nina is incredibly personable and organised and worked with me to ensure the session covered points that were important to her, but also meaningful for us as an organisation too. And then Nina spoke… I was transfixed, we were all taken on a journey with her. Her voice is poetic, powerful, and candid and was exactly what we needed to hear. Nina raised unasked questions and sparked many conversations to follow.’ Please can you keep it anonymous, because we have so much red tape to go through to get it signed off otherwise! Thanks once again for the session.”
