Ex-Miss Tanzania & model Millen Magese has been working hard to raise awareness for Endometriosis in Africa. A few weeks ago she was recognised and announced as BET International‘s 1st ever Global Good recipient, an award given to highlight the humanitarian efforts of global personalities and celebrities in communities around the world. She had this to say on receiving the award via Instagram;
“As the time draws closer, memories of the struggle with Endometriosis come flooding in. There have been many times where I questioned why I had to go through such pain. I kept my silence for so long, ashamed of what might be said. Endometriosis is so misunderstood on may levels. After speaking out, many times I wanted top stop and go back into hiding, but I had already set an example I couldnt retract. Today I stand tall on the shoulders of that decision and I thank each and every one who has supported me and my journey. Special thanks to @bet_intl for honoring me with the Global Good Award. Our voice has been heard.“
