We talk about our bodies all the time… until the conversation gets uncomfortable.

Fibroids.

Anemia.

Pain.

Exhaustion.

Reproductive health.

And what happens when you’re not always seen the way healthcare systems expect you to be.

This week on Unmuted with Z & Ross Da Boss, Ross gets personal about her journey with uterine fibroids, surgery, severe anemia, and learning to stop normalizing what her body was trying to tell her.

But this conversation goes deeper.

As a masculine-presenting woman, Ross opens up about navigating healthcare spaces where assumptions about gender, identity, and anatomy can create another layer of difficulty.

This is a conversation about Black women’s health. Health equity. Medical advocacy. And listening to your body before it has to scream.

Because common doesn’t mean normal.

And pain should never be the price of being unheard.
