Iām filmmaker and musicianĀ Alicia J. Rose, and I want to empower women with the motherf$#@!% energy to start aĀ revolution. By 2030,Ā one billion womenĀ will be in menopause. One. Billion. Imagine if every manās testosterone flatlined by 50 ā you think the world would stay quiet aboutĀ that? Welcome to menopause:Ā complete hormonal upheaval. And perimenopause? Sheās the chaotic, b*tchy, opening act that none of us can escape. The worst part? Weāre turning to a medical system that keeps spreading the lie thatĀ hormone replacement therapy causes breast cancerĀ ā misinformation thatās been harming womenās health since 2002.
Thatās why Iām makingĀ MENOPUNKSĀ ā a feature documentary and podcast about menopause, perimenopause, quality of life and the creative process. Itās time to torch the misinformation, set the record straight about HRT, and give people the tools to advocate for their bodies, their energy, and their sanity.
BecauseĀ women canāt do good if they donāt feel good.
BecauseĀ gender-affirming care is a human right.
And because itās way past time for MENOPUNKS to to start a revolution.
So join me as I pull back the curtain on the filmmaking journey, swap stories with incredible musicians, artists, and menopause experts, and expose one of the biggest medical cover-ups in modern history.
