Hello Dames!

Glad to have you here at Dame’s Hub website!

Dame’s Hub is a safe space promoting women’s health primarily from midlife and beyond, where every woman can gather, share experiences, access resources, gain knowledge, in an environment which promotes safety, inclusivity and empowerment which ultimately prepares us for the changes that comes with perimenopausal, menopausal and postmenopausal stages.

Dame’s Hub was launched due to the need for women in their midlife stage, gaining more exposure to the changes which occur in this pivotal stage of their lives. Realizing most women are clueless about what to expect at this stage of life encouraged the formation of Dame’s Hub.

Rubbing minds with women on their opinions about, as well as their experiences with menopause, I found that, majority of women were clueless about menopause. Some said they had experienced some symptoms of menopause, with night sweats and hot flashes being the most common. Unfortunately, majority said the symptoms they experienced had interfered with their quality of life.

It is estimated that with women’s current average life expectancy, we will spend one-third of our lives postmenopausal.

There is a great need to change the status quo and pay more attention to women in this stage of life. We should have more options for treating the symptoms of menopause. We should know more about the transformation happening to our bodies and our health, and what we need to do to continue to age healthfully. We should not be embarrassed about the symptoms we experience, or fear being discriminated against in the workplace because of them.

To make this happen, we need major changes in our healthcare system, our workplaces and our mindsets. Dame’s Hub aims to be the catalyst for this change. Please join and follow us on all our Social Media platforms and share with others.

We hope you’ll find what you need to make your journey through menopause easier, less intimidating and maybe even inspirational.

Thank you for being here. I hope you will return often and share with us how we can better meet your needs.

Sincerely,

Valentina Ibirogba-Unaji
