Jahmby at the time was a weekend news anchor and still suffered from endometriosis but doctors kept on dismissing her condition as normal.

“Hey fam...a lil tbt...upcoming tv news anchor. I have tonnes of black outfits. This is because I've always had a crazy flow during my period. In high school, I lost count of how many times my period would be dripping all the way to my legs and me fainting at assembly. The heavy clots during my period were also something that the doctors dismissed as normal. During my tv anchoring days, I called in sick so many times until I was dropped from the schedule. Endometriosis has caused women to become former shells of themselves,” read part of her throwback post.
