FAQs

About Midlife & Menopause While Black

Q: What exactly is Midlife & Menopause While Black?

It is a U.S. based private, paywalled online community just for Black women who are navigating midlife: perimenopause, menopause, and menopause from surgery or illness, plus all the life changes that come with this season. Think message boards, chats, and real conversations with women who actually understand what you are going through.

Join the waitlist to be the first to know when doors open.

Q: Why not just stick with free groups?

Free groups can be helpful, but they often feel public and unpredictable. A lot of women hold back because they do not want their personal business floating around under their real name. Midlife and menopause can be sensitive, especially when it affects sleep, mood, confidence, relationships, faith, and mental health.

This community is behind a paywall on purpose so it feels protected. Screen names are welcome, conversations stay inside, and the support is centered on Black women in this season. If you want a space where you can be real without worrying who is watching, join the waitlist.

Q: Who is this community really for?

This space is for Black women 35 and over, and younger sisters who feel things shifting early or want to be ready.

It is for women in:

• Perimenopause

• Menopause or post-menopause

• Menopause brought on by surgery or illness

It is also for the whole midlife picture: mood, brain fog, work, money, caregiving, dating, marriage, faith, friendships, body changes, and figuring out who you are right now.

If that is you, add your name to the waitlist so you are at the front of the line.

Q: What will I get when the community opens?

When doors open and you become a member, you will get:

• Full access to all private boards behind the paywall: symptoms, surgical and medical menopause, mind and mood, relationships, work and money, faith, hair and skin, holistic and medical approaches, “Off Topic,” and more.

• A cozy, private chat space for quick check-ins and “anybody else feeling this?” moments.

• Ongoing prompts, polls, and shared resources built specifically for Black women in this season of life.

The waitlist makes sure you are notified first and do not miss the launch.

Q: Is this therapy or medical care?

No. This community is support and sisterhood, not professional treatment. Women share what they have tried, talk about doctors, HRT, herbs, surgeries, and real-life decisions, and we always encourage you to work with your own doctor, therapist, or other professionals for personal care.

If you want community to go alongside your care, the waitlist is where you start.

Q: How private is it, really?

Very! The message boards and chat spaces live behind a paywall, so:

• Only members can see posts and conversations

• Content is not public, not searchable, and not indexable by Google

• You can choose a screen name instead of posting under your real name

You stay in control of what you share and how you share it. Joining the waitlist means you will know the moment you can step into that protected space.

Q: Why should I join the waitlist now?

The waitlist is how you:

• Hear first when the doors open

• Get early access to join before the community gets crowded

• Stay in the loop about any bonuses for early members

If you are a Black woman who is tired of feeling like you are the only one going through all this, add your name to the list. Your future self will thank you for not trying to carry midlife alone.
