Schoolteacher Melissa talks frankly about forging her own unique path to motherhood as a single Black woman in the white-centric world of fertility. You'll hear how Melissa's experience with premature ovarian syndrome has given her a crash course in infertility, trying to become a single mom by choice, Black sperm and egg donors, the cost of IVF and fertility treatments, and the value of getting fertility support and medical info from a doctor who listens to you.
