Ellamae Fullalove: You Are Never Alone

My guest on today’s episode of Period Story is Ellamae Fullalove, the poet, founder of the shame shaking community, storytelling and events platform, Va Va Womb and MRKH advocate.


In this episode, Ellamae shares:


  • How not getting her first period led to a diagnosis of MRKH, a condition that affects 1 in 5,000, in which the uterus and cervix is underdeveloped or absent and the vagina is shortened
  • How she was diagnosed by the specialist team at Queen Charlotte’s Hospital in London
  • The emotional side of the diagnosis and how she went from hiding it to helping others with MRKH advocate for themselves
  • How to get an MRKH diagnosis
  • How she’ll tackle the fertility side of MRKH, including the surrogacy campaigning work she does
  • How she and a friend set up Vagina Fest
  • How poetry and being creative is cathartic for her


Ellamae says that it’s so important to find your people and support network so there’s someone you can confide in. Telling your story is important and empowering.


Thank you, Ellamae!
