— For Patients & Community Voices —

The story behind the statistic is yours.

You don't have to be a writer to tell it.

The appointment you waited months for. The symptom you were told was nothing. The birth that didn't go like they promised. Your experience is evidence — and on Yemaya, it belongs in the record. Press record on your phone, and we'll do the rest.

The numbers stopped. People didn't.

The systems that were supposed to count what happens to women in this country are being taken apart. When the data goes dark, the only record left is the one we keep ourselves. One story is an anecdote. Thousands of stories, told honestly, become impossible to ignore.

This is for everyone — every background, every neighborhood, every kind of body and birth and diagnosis. The record gets fuller the more of us write it. If you've lived something the system missed, you have something we need.

However it comes out of you.

Say it

Record a voice note — two minutes or twenty, in any language you're comfortable in. We transcribe and shape it into a piece, in your voice.

Write it

If you'd rather type, type. A paragraph or a page. Rough is fine — an editor helps you make it sing.

Just start it

Not sure where to begin? Tell us the gist in the form. We'll reach out and help you find the thread.

They stopped writing women down. So we write ourselves in.

Your story stays yours.

Nothing publishes without your approval. You see every word before it goes anywhere. You choose your name, a pen name, or to stay anonymous.

We don't extract from you. No algorithm burying your voice, no selling your story to advertisers. Owned, built, and run by women of color — for women.

You set the line. Tell us what's off-limits and it stays off-limits. We edit for clarity, never to soften the truth.

Want to help build the record itself?

Beyond stories, we're starting a conversation about community-level data — inviting patients to help build a women's health record that doesn't depend on the institutions that stopped counting. Consent-first, owned by us. Read the idea and join the conversation →

Write yourself in.

One short form. Record a voice note, paste a few lines, or just tell us the gist. We read every one.
