About
Hello
My name is Noni Martins and I am the founder of Unfertility, a three-dimensional campaign that seeks to break the silence, stigma and shame around unconventional fertility journeys through the voices of Black women, including my own.
My story
I am Zimbabwean-British and my husband is Nigerian-British and we have been trying to conceive for over 5 years and it was close to the 3-year mark that we found out we had male factor infertility & that we would need IVF. We started IVF in Jan’ 2020 and we have had 3 failed embryo transfers so far. After further testing this year, we recently found out that we also have (female) endometrial factor infertility as well.
Her Story
As well as sharing my own unconventional fertility story, I host other Black women with their own stories, and professionals in the fertility sphere, on my podcast, with the hope of bringing more visibility to these hidden stories.
Our story
Representation matters, cultural nuances matter, conversations matter, and safe spaces matter. I run a virtual support group for Black women who are trying to conceive / dealing with infertility / going through IVF / or have experienced loss.
