"I was fascinated by Nina's talk which really helped me to understand some of the additional challenges faced by black women who are experiencing the menopause. Her description of the significance of the scarcity of black role models in the UK, particularly resonated with me. Her address was clear, insightful, well-illustrated and relatable."
