Hello!
My name is Noni Martins, and I am the writer & speaker behind Unfertility; an awareness campaign offering a cultural diversity lens to the conversation on infertility & IVF.

My Story
I tried to conceive for almost 6 years and it was close to the 3-year mark that my partner (at the time) and I found out that we would need IVF due to male factor infertility. We started IVF in Jan’ 2020 and we went through 6 failed cycles.
It was after the 6th cycle that I made the hard decision to stop and I am no longer actively trying to conceive. While I still hope to be a mother in the future, my experience with infertility and as an IVF patient, a black one for that matter, will always stay with me and I still feel compelled to use my voice and my experience to contribute to the conversation on infertility & IVF.
After not finding the safe space to have the conversations and the dialogue I was looking for, I decided to create my own and that's how Unfertility came to be. Unfertility initially began as a personal blog with just my voice and grew into a podcast with other black women sharing their own stories, which eventually morphed into a support group I ran specifically for Black women.
Now my main focus is writing and speaking engagements, as well as 1-2-1 peer support for Black women dealing with infertility or going through IVF.
