WELCOME

Claret Circle was created to help women -- particularly women of color -- make menopause better through our collective journey. We are a community platform designed to evolve and benefit from each other. We are not a health platform and we don’t offer medical advice. Through sharing content, community, and storytelling, we can help each other feel less alone and more empowered to manage our own experience. Subscribe to receive our biweekly newsletter.

Shades of Menopause

The Menopause Mystic

The menopause space is dominated by cisgender narratives that often don’t represent or include the experiences of all people who are affected by this transitional life stage. Omisade Burney-Scott is doing her part to change this.

BOOK RECOMMENDATION

perimenopause book; menopause book

Quick, informative read.

Written by integrative gynecologist and hormone specialist, Dr. LaKeischa McMillan, The Other PMS was a quick and straightforward read. Dr. McMillan uses helpful analogies and simplified metaphors to explain the critical role of our sex hormones, and our adrenal and thyroid glands during menopause transition. I also appreciate how she shares her own struggles, as a Black woman and medical professional navigating perimenopause (especially the impact on relationships and self-perception) and talks through her approach to treatment and wellness. I found it to be a particularly helpful perspective coming from a doctor practicing in the space. I definitely recommend! 

You can purchase her book via online booksellers, including Amazon and Barnes and Noble. You can follow Dr. McMillan on IG or Clubhouse, @DrLaKeischaMD. Happy reading!

AHEAD OF THE CURVE: EARLY MENOPAUSE

Asia Kaleem, now 42, is a vivacious, gregarious mother of 3 — thrust into early menopause eleven years ago. Now, she’s happy to be in a stage where she can “Do whatever the hell she wants to do” — left her home town, moved to NYC to reinvent, and learned to “lean into the sweats.”
