Episode MELONCHOLIA Cover

MELONCHOLIA

Fibroids — benign uterine tumors — are often compared to fruit in size. While some are as small as apple seeds, others grow as large as watermelons. Black people are three-to-four times more likely to grow them and tend to experience more severe symptoms. There's no medical explanation for their growth or this disparity. But as Aimé Césaire wrote, “Poetic knowledge is born in the great silence of scientific knowledge.” Created by poet Kemi Alabi and featuring over a dozen Black trans and queer stories, MELONCHOLIA presents a speculative theory of fibroid growth, revealing what's been swallowed — and must be spit out. ____ Donate [https://gofund.me/c49348c4] to Black trans and queer people seeking fibroid-related healthcare. Request [https://forms.gle/qxTUn4ksiQUDSaCN6] MELONCHOLIA mutual aid funds for your fibroid-related healthcare.
