Welcome to Black Menopause & Beyond — a warm, honest, and empowering space created by me, Anita Powell. I’m a menopause advocate, co-founder of Black Women in Menopause, founder of Menopause Alliance CIC, and a proud Black woman navigating midlife with intention.
This podcast is for every woman who’s ever been told to keep quiet, who’s felt unseen or unheard during her menopause journey, and who’s now ready to speak up.
Each episode dives deep into the physical, emotional, and cultural aspects of menopause, midlife, and beyond. Expect conversations with health experts, lived-experience stories, myth-busting, laughter, reflection — and yes, real talk about what it’s like to be a Black woman in midlife today.
Whether you’re perimenopausal, post-menopausal, or supporting someone who is — this podcast is your community. Together we’ll explore topics like symptom management, mental health, identity, body confidence, relationships, and purpose.

Why This Podcast Matters:
Too often, Black women’s menopause experiences are left out of the mainstream conversation. I’m changing that. With every episode, we create space for truth, advocacy, and sisterhood — because menopause isn’t the end of the story. It’s the beginning of a powerful new chapter.
