There is a great need to develop menopause health educational resources in the language the African Woman can understand.

" If she can understand you, then she can trust you and open up to you" Quote by Dr. Marie Keka

On this edition of GAMHC, we have gathered international speakers from diverse backgrounds and professional fields to share their opinions and contribute insightful contributions on the importance of creating menopause health education resources specifically for the African Woman.....because the midlife & premature menopausal African woman deserves to be understood and supported. Her health is a GLOBAL PRIORITY.

🌍 INTERNATIONAL SPOTLIGHT AT GAMHC | 31ST JULY 2025

What does it take to make menopause health information truly accessible across cultures?

We’re thrilled to welcome one of the most passionate voices in global menopause advocacy —

Sarah (Newson) Davies — for an exclusive presentation at the Grand Africa Menopause Health Chat (GAMHC), July Edition: “Translating Menopause: How to Make Health Information Accessible Across Cultures”

With a powerful blend of corporate insight, lived passion, and global communication expertise, Sarah is reshaping the way the world supports women at midlife.

From her early leadership roles at Fujitsu (ICL) and Thomas Cook, to recruiting senior executives at Heidrick & Struggles, Sarah built her career at the highest levels before turning her focus to purpose-driven impact.

That purpose? Changing the workplace menopause conversation forever.

In 2017, Sarah co-founded Talking Menopause after working alongside her sister, Dr Louise Newson, one of the UK’s leading menopause specialists and founder of the Balance app. Since then, Sarah has become one of the UK’s trailblazing pioneers, raising menopause awareness and equipping thousands of employees and organisations with practical, powerful tools to support hormonal health at work.

Today, through her new platform, Empower4Life, Sarah empowers organisations across sectors to foster confident, informed, and inclusive workplace cultures around menopause, menstruation, and mindset — helping women lead, thrive, and be seen.

🎤 A dynamic speaker, coach, and certified Mental Health First Aider (MHFA), Sarah’s voice is heard across national TV, radio, and top publications.

👉 Don’t miss this rare opportunity to learn from her wisdom, global experience, and unshakable passion.

Because menopause is not just a health issue. It’s a language, a human experience, and a call to lead differently.
