Do you know that in Sub Saharan Africa there is an Infertility Belt at a rate of 33% (in comparison to the world average of 8%). This means that in your group of three friends at least one of you is likely to experience primary or secondary infertility. AND YET WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT IT. We shun childless women. We label them. We ostracise them. We judge these women.

My guest today, was so brave and gracious to share her own personal journey with infertility. We had such a rich conversation that I think would definitely give you pause, to think about the way you have treated women who you assume are barren.

Kenyan born Linet Kamau, is a wife, lawyer, marketer, bibliophile and a travel and culture enthusiast. Fun fact: she is ALWAYS EXTRA! She is witty, thought provoking, and well read. I love to pick her brain and today you get a chance to experience her radiance. I know you'll love her.

Quotes

"Learn how to speak kindly to yourself"

"Define yourself beyond your uterus"

"There is so much you can do in this world, to provide love and care that goes beyond just being a mother."
