Speaker/Moderator - LaToya Dwight is a mother, wife, sister, friend, and driven Employee Benefits Consultant living in Atlanta, GA. She created The Fibroid Pandemic as an answer to the frustrations she experienced during her own journey with uterine fibroids. LaToya learned she had fibroids during what she thought was a routine visit to her OB/GYN. During an ultrasound to locate her IUD, the ultrasound technician asked LaToya how her fibroids were coming along. LaToya was in shock. She spoke with her OB/GYN, asked questions, and shared her concerns. Her doctor’s response was, “fibroids are like kudzu, you cut them away, and they just grow right back.” LaToya’s OB/GYN immediately recommended that she get a hysterectomy. From entering the office for a routine procedure to receiving news that she might have her womb removed all in the same visit, LaToya was overwhelmed. LaToya embarked on a four-year-long (and counting) journey of researching fibroids. She made healthy lifestyle changes and chose to undergo a minimally-invasive medical treatment, uterine fibroid embolization (UFE). After her UFE procedure, LaToya shared her fibroid experience and received an overwhelming response which led her to crate The Fibroid Pandemic to do something she’s passionate about — helping Black women heal from fibroids! LaToya has also curated the Run F.A.R. 5K Run/Walk that's scheduled for 7/24. F.A.R. is an acronym for fibroid awareness and resources.
