So little is discussed about “The Change”. That’s right Menopause is not widely discussed and can bring a sense of feeling ashamed. It’s something that’s often held close to a woman’s chest, a secret that only she knows.
While some do share their experiences, many women continue to struggle with finding community when preparing for and enduring menopause.
Menopause It’s a biological process when a menstruating woman no longer has periods. Each woman experiences the stage differently, whether it’s with hot flashes, sleep problems or a low libido. But all menstruating women will experience menopause; it’s just a matter of when.
A new comedy special aims to tackle the inevitable process with laughter. “Confessions of a menopausal femme fatale” is a stand-up storytelling concert by multidisciplinary artist, storyteller, and social entrepreneur Satori Shakoor.
Shakoor is the founder and Executive Producer of The Secret Society of Twisted Storytellers, host of PBS’s Detroit Performs. The special, which was taped at Detroit Public Theatre will be available to stream Thursday, June 12th.
Listen to The Metro weekdays from 10 a.m. to noon ET on 101.9 FM and streaming on demand.
