The journey I have embarked upon with "Super High: A Period Piece" is profoundly personal and inspired by my own experiences with fibroids and the lack of understanding surrounding this condition. Through this short film, I want to shed light on the realities faced by many women who silently endure the physical and emotional toll of living with fibroids because studies find that Black women are 3 to 4 times more likely to develop uterine fibroids in our lifetime as compared our white counterparts with 70-80% of us developing fibroids in our lifetimes.
