“You know ever since I came out as an endowarrior, so much has been said about it by some men. Men who don't understand what women go through. Today as I perfectly choose to have a good day, it's made better by ignorance. This man sent me a message saying that I'm living through a generational curse left by my grandma and he has contacts for a medicineman that will sort it out. To him endometriosis needs a cure from the medicineman.” Said Njambi

She added that, men need to understand that women across the world are fighting with the same condition and therefore her late grandmother should not be dragged into her condition.

Don't dare pull my late grandma and my family into something you're not aware of. These women have seen me fight. I don't think it's right for anyone to spew their ignorance and involve my family. Drag me all you want but not my mothers and sisters. These women are my rock. These women know we are winning this war and so are the millions of women battling Endometriosis.” added Njambi

According to Njambi People need awareness about such conditions in the society so that they stay on the know.

“To all my endowarriors, awareness is important. We come from cultures that silence our pain and experiences as women. People need to be educated and informed about this.Just like AIDS and Cancer, we shall raise awareness.Men like these and some women need to be informed because before they know it your women could be affected. Research. Learn. Teach and support the women.”
