OVAREACTION BY TENNILLE DANIELS

I don’t know about you but reproductive health for me between my teenage and young adult years consisted of period + pregnancy. I wanted to make sure that my period arrived (not pregnant) and that my spot checks always came back clean. In my mid-20s, however, I discovered I had large ovarian cysts and subsequently was diagnosed with endometriosis. I knew nothing about ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometriosis or any of the other reproductive health issues women may experience before menopause hits. The thoughts, decisions, procedures, and surgeries I experienced in the days, months, and years following my initial diagnosis sparked OVAREACTION - how a woman reacts - her thoughts, feelings, decisions, and actions - to a matter involving her reproductive health. The OVAREACTION podcast is a safe space for women of color to share their stories, vulnerabilities, as well as their triumphs and victories. As a single black woman who has gone through a great deal of this journey alone, I have a special place for my single sisters who experience the highs and lows of reproductive health and may have to make hard decisions on their own. Join Tennille Daniels and this community as we share our OVAREACTION to educate and encourage women to stand firm in their decisions and confidently in their story.

WHO DAT IS?

March 03, 2022 • Tennille Daniels • Season 2 • Episode 7

Due to some circumstances within my control and a few outside, Episode 7: Who Dat Is? is coming to you a little late - I appreciate the grace!

On this episode, I share the story of how I found my donor. After a few failed shopping trips and patiently waiting on the Lord, my future baby daddy showed up in my inbox.

With my donor selected and the vials purchased, it was time to celebrate this major milestone in my journey. Head over to my blog at www.tennilledaniels.com/blog to see how I celebrated this major step with some of my closest friends.

This week's song of the episode is MyBabyDaddy by B-Rock & The Bizz - of course it is! I threw in a couple bonus songs this week that will give you some insight into a key characteristic of my donor - Gasolina by Daddy Yankee and Calma (Remix) by Pedro Capo & Farruko. You can find these songs and the many others that have served as the soundtrack for my journey on the OVAREACTION podcast playlist on Apple Music and Spotify.
