A Terrible Strength Book Launch with Dr. Kemi Doll

This is the official launch of A Terrible Strength: The Hidden Crisis of the Black Womb & Your Survival Guide to Healing—and it’s more than a book event. It’s a reception, a fireside conversation, an open Q&A, and a book signing designed to nourish connection, reflection, and collective power.

Dr. Kemi Doll—physician, researcher, and truth-teller—will share the personal stories and scientific insights behind her debut book, naming what medicine has too often denied and opening space for honest dialogue about womb health, survival, and healing. She will be in conversation with Monique R. Shields—Executive Coach, podcast host of Ambition Without Compromise, and Founder of Seven Pines Leadership—for a fireside chat that moves beyond the page, inviting real talk about what it means to navigate care, claim agency, and imagine something better for ourselves and those coming after us.

Come celebrate the launch, hear directly from the author, and be part of this exciting milestone.
