Erica Chidi Cohen Instagram - if you care about women and/or people that have uteruses, there's really only one party that's going to fight to keep what limited reproductive freedoms we have and work to restore bodily autonomy nationwide. this isn't just about abortion. it's about ivf and birth control too. if you can vote, block any/all measures on the ballot that limit your reproductive rights at the state level, and at the national level vote for @kamalaharris and @timwalz because they've openly stated their commitment to reproductive rights and freedom for everyone • s/o to @pizzaslime x @tinder for sending me bumper stickers i *actually* might use. 💦💓🇺🇸🎣🪱🧸

Erica Chidi Cohen Instagram - 0.06% of venture dollars go to black female ceo's. as of november 2017, there were just 34 black female founders who had raised more than $1 million. i’m number 35. if i had known these exact statistics when my friend and mentor @katkale of @ritual encouraged me to raise venture, i probably wouldn't have jumped in. not because i thought i'd fail but as a trauma survivor, deeper exposure to a system that didn’t want black women was something i didn't need. but instead i pressed on with the support of my co-founder and impact chief @quinnlundbreg and our amazing @loomhq team. we made it happen. @loomhq is about expansion, empathy and wellbeing. we’re building a world where women can understand and thrive in their bodies at every stage of their lives. health education is an underutilized healthcare intervention. when it's offered with compassion and intelligence it can change a woman's entire life for the better. i'm deeply grateful to our investors who believed in our value proposition and jumped in before covid19 and the murders of breonna, nina and george changed our world forever. @jillieruth and @slowventures thank you leading our round and to @precursorvc @moxxieventures and #gsvventures for following on. no-one has clarity on what the next few years will look like but i’m certain that self-knowledge, self-compassion, collective empathy and our health will be at the forefront. i’m thrilled that @loomhq will be a part of this new paradigm. our new site and look is live today. it's a whole vibe, thanks to the magic from the women at @roandcostudio and @wallforapricots ✨ to the black women reading this, if you have a dream keep pushing. give it time, create community around it, be gentle on yourself and don't give up. there is room at the table for you and i’m working to make more. trust. 💪🏾 lastly thank you to @pavsmo for writing this article. it felt special to tell my story to a brown girl whose parents, like mine came to this country for a better life. 🙏🏾
Erica Chidi Cohen Instagram - if you go to reproductiverights.gov tonight, you’ll find nothing there. swipe through to see what was there just last week. only a few hours after taking office, this administration removed reproductiverights.gov—a critical resource that helped women access health care and understand their rights, especially abortion. sure, there are other places online where you can find this information. but the fact that, removing this site was high priority says a lot about where we are going. honestly, i wish i had something more supportive to offer. i know there are so many other frightening, seismic changes that happened just a few hours ago. but tonight, this is all i have. the only thing i can do is shine a light on this, in hopes that we can all hold space and bear witness to what is happening. this isn't a moment to look away. fund your local planned parenthood. fund community led abortion funds. and lastly, donate to @internetarchive because they make sure that the internet lives on, no matter who tries to erase it. 🫂

Erica Chidi Cohen Instagram - birthday note to self: you deserve to feel safe in your body. your body deserves rest. self-compassion and self-inquiry are sustainable. resentment is not. detach with love. speak freely about your beliefs from a place of collective strength. you are held and protected by the women who came before you. your body is an aging monument to your trauma and your survival but also to your joy and transformation. stay gentle. keep going. make room. a year can change everything. 34 • ♎️♐️♋️ 📷: @themagdalenaexperience
Erica Chidi Cohen Instagram - it's been three weeks since my abdominal myomectomy. my team at @uclahealth took amazing care of me and i don't take that for granted, especially as a black woman. they removed 23 fibroids of every shape and size. ⚠️content warning⚠️ if you're not squeamish—swipe through for a closer look. all together my fibroids weighed around 500 grams—approximately the weight of a six-month old fetus. recovery has been hard. instead of pushing through the pain, i've had to slow down and listen to my body literally demand that i do less. it's been uncomfortable to surrender and face how attached i am to being productive. i've had to rediscover my value outside of the framework of achievement. this forced stillness will be one of my greatest teachers. it's a portal for deep bodily and psychic change—a chance to see everything differently. more on the surgery and recovery process as i continue to heal but today i'm joyful, fibroid-free and finally back at home in my body. #itsallinmygut

Erica Chidi Cohen Instagram - pitched this to @ntytimes last summer because i was broken. broken by the statistics. broken by lack of care for us. broken by my countless conversations with black women about their fear of dying at the birth of their child. but my brokenness also held strength. enough to reach out to my friend and @loomhq advisor @drericacahill to write something i couldn't find anywhere: an actionable and compassionate tool that centered black pregnant women needs and mobilized care providers to directly acknowledge medical racism. this guide is not perfect but it's a start and i hope more tools and research will flow from it. the key to this guide are the antiracist prenatal and postpartum care preferences i conceptualized and then co-created with @drericacahill for @loomhq. we built them to hopefully lessen the burden for black women and build the groundwork these difficult but potentially life-saving conversations. the preferences are linked at the end of the guide and can be found at them at the link in the @loomhq bio. thank you to: @lorettajross @artivistmonicaraye of @sistersong_woc for your groundbreaking reproductive justice work which anchored this guide and deeply informs my work at @loomhq and how we're building our platform. to @resmaamenakem for his incredible book and somatic approach to racial trauma, your push to “operationalize” helped me build the framework for this guide. to @adjo_gold and @blackmamasmatter, for reading multiple drafts of this guide and providing incredible insights. you made this guide better. lastly, thank you @jessgrosewrites for accepting my pitch within five minutes of me sending it over last june, long before the world changed forever. share this article and these preferences far and wide. feedback is welcome. we must come together to protect black birth, black women and black families. 🙏🏾✊🏾✌🏾#trustblackwomen #protectblackwomen

Erica Chidi Cohen Instagram - a year ago, just before my period, i noticed a large lump in my lower abdomen, tender to the touch • i immediately texted my dear friend obgyn @askdrsuzanne to get in for a transvaginal ultrasound • during, i asked the tech if she saw anything, she replied "yep—fibroids, the largest is the size of grapefruit." tears flowed as symptoms i'd experienced for years, and addressed separately, suddenly made sense: cramps when i wasn't on my period, heavy bleeding when i was, mild bloating, recurring uti's and bladder retention • i had 10 fibroids and my uterus had stretched to the size of an 18 week pregnant womxn • @askdrsuzanne suggested a myomectomy, a surgery to remove large fibroids • she shared that most women will have 1 fibroid by age 50, but they disproportionately affect black women • i was stunned to learn of my higher risk, though following my diagnosis, i heard from other black women with fibroids almost daily • funny how that happens, right? • as i researched, i learned: myomectomies require uterine incisions stitches, which means i'd have to have a cesarean birth, which didn't bother me (all birth is natural™) but with current maternal health outcomes for black women, i was hesitant to limit my autonomy, or increase interventions, in labor • plus, the recovery was 6-8 weeks and, at my age, i had a 30% chance of repeat surgery within 10 years because the smaller fibroids that would remain after the surgery would eventually need to come out • deeper research led me to @acessahealth, a minimally invasive procedure using radio-frequency to destroy fibroids laparoscopically, without uterine incisions stitches and just 1 week of recovery • serendipitously, the inventor, @drbrucelee practiced in la and after a warm 90 minute consultation, i knew @acessahealth was the way to go • on july 8, i had my surgery, recovery was uneventful—just me, a buckwheat heating pad, homemade bone broth from @radiantwoman_ congee • within 24 hours, i was tender but walking • my 2 periods since are the first in recent memory that i didn't have to change my cup, tampon or pad every hour, wake up to bloody sheets, or bleed through my clothes... more in the comments

Erica Chidi Cohen Instagram - here’s my body a few days before my surgery, and here’s my body two weeks after all 23 fibroids were removed. i still can’t believe i lived like that for over two years, carrying around the weight of a six-month pregnancy. what i’ve never shared is how rigoiously i prepared for this surgery. from advocating for the right post-surgery pain control, to the foods i ate for healing, to all the bio-hacking and the extreme rest i forced myself into. recovering from my myomectomy was one of the hardest things i’ve ever done, but it was absolutely worth it. to listen to my whole story, download @learnwithloom today–it's free. 🎧🌸
Erica Chidi Cohen Instagram - thanks to @bustle for sharing about my work and LOOM. one thing i quickly discovered while working as a doula was that pregnant people clung to the same desires and interests that they’ve always had. being pregnant and becoming a mother, didn't mean they didn’t want to be sexual anymore, dream big or take risks. if anything, they yearned for those things even more or felt finally empowered enough to say “no” and fiercely claim themselves for the first time. becoming a mother is potent evolution and our program focuses on holding space for that—without judgement and with modern tools for figuring it out on your terms. all the words are over on bustle.com and you can discover more about our pregnancy and postpartum program at @loomhq 📸: @amyharrity ✨☁️

Erica Chidi Cohen Instagram - black maternal health week begins today. i could unpack the devastating outcomes that face my sisters, or the disproportionate impact of pandemic on us. instead, i'm choosing #blackjoy and uplifting fellow black female authors who've written specifically about pregnancy and the postpartum experience. we are a rare breed. these were the ONLY books i found published by publishing houses versus self-published. this distinction is important. why? because it means that these publishing houses, which are typically white-led, put their money behind black women. there should be more of that and more of us—hopefully soon. how can you help? buy and amplify our books. ask for reissues of older books that have gone out of print. also write and tag publishers—let them know you want to read more titles by black womxn. your voice matters. and even if these books don't speak to black womxn directly, they stem from black thought and uplift our voices. they see womxn as empowered whole people—who happen to be pregnant and dive into our unique needs—whether that's navigating fibroids, breastfeeding and feeding challenges due to the trauma of slavery, blended familes, intergenerational parenting, and the traditions of our ancestors. at 2pm pst today, i'll be joining @blackmamasmatter for a panel exploring how black maternal health can be protected and optimized together with tech. more at the last swipe 🙏🏾🖤

Erica Chidi Cohen Instagram - excited to share that LOOM got acquired by @perelelhealth! my dream was to take LOOM from 0 to 1 and then find it a home—ideally, one with higher clinical and consumer acuity—and i couldn’t be happier about where we’ve landed. from our gorgeous brick-and-mortar back in 2017 to launching our beautiful app last year and impacting people around the world, this journey wouldn't have been possible without our amazing investors and the incredible team who built LOOM. we did this during what, for many of us, were some of the hardest years of our lives. i love change—in fact, i crave it. it’s important give everything you’ve got and then know when it’s time to let go and evolve. @perelelhealth is an incredible company, with founders i adore, and working towards the same mission we had with LOOM: helping women thrive at every stage of their lives. i’m joining their team as a strategic advisor and all of our education, content, and community will fold into their platforms and i'll be by their side helping to guide that process. closing this chapter opens a space for softness, reflection, and transformation. but—i'm nowhere near done. there's still so much work to do in women's health, and health at large. my dedication to solving these problems remains unwavering, whether through advising, building solutions, storytelling, or advocacy. the horizon is bright with so many exciting possibilities. this ending is just another beginning. thank you all for your support on this wild journey. instagram and this community has always been a place that’s held me and encouraged me to keep going. again, thank you for seeing me and supporting LOOM. 🕊️

Erica Chidi Cohen Instagram - genoc*de, warfare, and white supremacy are not just historical footnotes—they’re the pillars of our industrial world. yet, we must ask ourselves daily: do they need to define our future? palestine's struggle for sovereignty, echoed by global demands for a ceasefire and the end of apartheid, mirrors the struggle faced by 7 million displaced individuals in the congo. yes—they differ in context and history, but both reflect the devastating impact external interests and internal conflict. in the congo, this manifests as violence fueled by political corruption and the relentless pursuit of rare minerals resources that power our tech-driven lives. genoc*de and war are viruses, hungry to expand. the tools that propel them can be rehashed and adapted to inflict harm anywhere, at any scale. the silencing, doxxing, and punishing of protestors on college campuses is a stark reminder of how warfare and oppression can be scaled down to fit any context. the concurrent rise of antisemitism and islamophobia also reflects that. none of us are truly free unless we all are free and that includes the hostages. censorship is rife right now. diversify your media sources and donate to the ones that are independent. @allsidesnow is a helpful tool for comparative media analysis for whatever you choose to consume. also consider monthly recurring donations to humanitarian relief operations like @doctorswithoutborders @aneraorg @mecaforpeace @ippf_global and others aiding in the gaza, congo and in places in crisis around the world. and if you can't afford to, amplify their work and use your voice. we’re are a global community. we are all worthy of freedom. collective liberation shouldn't be controversial. #tikkunolam ✌🏾🕊️
Erica Chidi Cohen Instagram - as a black, jewish person who believes deeply in reproductive justice and access—the right to have or not have a child safely, and that women/people everywhere need access to safe, gynecological care—i cannot ignore that 37,000 pregnant women in gaza are unable to access essential healthcare, while others struggle to find basic menstrual hygiene products and are being forced to find unsafe ways to suppress menstruation. regardless of your politic, religion or race—donate to and engage with @ippf_global the international planned parenthood federation, a global non-governmental organization focused on sexual and reproductive health and rights. they operate in over 150 countries, and work with with local members to address pressing needs on the ground. please don't look away. wholeness and safety is a universal right. from palestine to israel and beyond. life must be preserved. families must be reunited. free yourself from the violence ideological binaries perpetuate, especially if you have the privilege to not be in geographical epicenter of it. embrace action—wherever you can. #ceasefireNOW 🤎

Erica Chidi Cohen Instagram - i've been spending a lot of time with these books lately–both are worth buying, borrowing or gifting. they've helped soften my inward gaze and pushed me to be more creative in how i approach desire, arousal and living with chronic pain. ✨

Erica Chidi Cohen Instagram - 96 days—yep, that's how long it took for my period to show up. my longest cycle ever. so long, in fact, i joined the amenorrhea club—aka no period for three months or more. it vanished despite my routine: weekly acupuncture, regular exercise, decent sleep hygiene, and continued ghosting even after folding in chinese herbs, vitex, abdominal massage, lymphatic stimulation, and aromatherapy. i even did a full work-up to rule out pcos. but when i started bleeding last week, one thing became glaringly obvious: stress. stress can literally halt your period. and this year's been a stress bucket—running a startup, family of origin struggles i'm only a year out from my myomectomy. so, i guess it’s not surprising my period took a hiatus. but now she's back—and i'm finally softening. 🩸🧎🏾‍♀️

Erica Chidi Cohen Instagram - octavia butler’s words in parable of the sower, written over 20 years ago, echo so clearly this morning — there’s no room for despair, only rest and then relentless action. the state, the systems in place, they’re not here to save us. our communities, our wisdom, our interconnectedness is where we’ll find our way forward. there are prescient frameworks available, should you choose to look for them. octavia’s work is a fertile place to start, along with looking to organizers who have done this time after time. we’re stepping into an era where imagination, joy, empathy, strategic rage, and radical determination will shape our survival. as a dear friend reminded me this morning of thich nhat hanh’s tender saying: no mud, no lotus. 🪷
