Stephanie Coker revealed what inspired her documentary called ‘Where The Heck Is My Period’ which shed light on symptoms such as infertility and hormonal imbalances.
“The documentary was inspired by my personal experiences with polycystic ovarian syndrome and I’m hoping that we can create more awareness through this documentary. So people who don’t know the symptoms will be educated on what to look out for themselves and also for other women they know who might be finding it hard to conceive and who might have blood sugar level issues and hormonal imbalance so that they can find out whether or not they have PCOS."
“I've always been passionate about women's health especially women living with PCOS but I wanted them to feel seen, loved, understood and supported. Taking the big step of being vulnerable enough to share my story publicly was a big step I was willing to take."
