In conversation with ... Sexual health and HIV specialist Dr Nneka Nkwokolo. Nneka is also co-founder of Shades of Menopause a platform for women of colour to support each other and share stories and experiences. Nneka, who shares Bajan and Nigerian heritage, was raised in the Southern hemisphere before travelling to the UK to launch her career in medicine. She shares her knowledge of the challenges faced by women with HIV who are entering menopause and how access to optimum care is impacted by this intersection. We discuss medical research and how her crucial work is helping to reach more diverse demographics. Dr Nkwokolo also reminds us of the importance of letting go, advice she's learning herself. Links: Instagram and Facebook - @Shadesofmenopause
