Lollise says:
“There is a silent national fibroid heath crisis overwhelmingly affecting black women, made worse by navigating the American healthcare system. Most of my black friends with uteruses have had hysterectomies or undergone multiple myomectomies. In this song I talk about my experiences dealing with fibroids and menorrhagia going in and out of various emergency and hospital rooms. “Phallic science” talks about how much money is allocated to studying men's virility and very little is dedicated to women’s health and black women’s health specifically. "Wellness hocus" is a commentary on how the wellness industry swoops in with a lot of expensive and untested remedies. All this is set against the backdrop in the US of ongoing white supremacist attacks on women’s health and affirmative action funds and programs, including those specifically geared towards black women’s reproductive health and birthing.”
