Women’s Health Revolution - Muji Bakomson Is Fixing Medical Dismissal With Femtech & Tech Empathy. In this episode of Women of Color Live, we explore a women’s health conversation with Muji Bakomson from Nigeria. The discussion starts with a strong idea: motherhood, health, and legacy are not just biology, but strategy and choice. Many women around the world feel ignored or dismissed by health systems. This video opens the door to understanding why women’s voices matter in healthcare and how lived experiences can lead to real change in technology and support systems.
- Muji shares her personal experience of being told by a doctor to just get pregnant to solve her health problems. She describes severe period pain, vomiting, weakness, and missing school due to symptoms that were ignored. Instead of real treatment, she was dismissed. This moment became the turning point in her life. It showed how many women face the same problem globally. Her story highlights the reality of medical gaslighting and why women must be heard in healthcare decisions.
- Instead of accepting dismissal, Muji created a solution called a femtech companion that supports women in real life. She built it to give women guidance, emotional support, and health understanding without judgment. The goal is not to replace doctors but to fill the gap where women feel unseen. The platform is designed to be simple, accessible, and available even through WhatsApp
- This part explains how many health apps fail because they assume all women are the same. Real life is different. Women are mothers, workers, caregivers, and survivors of different struggles. Not everyone can follow strict health rules or daily tracking systems. Muji explains why the average user's thinking is wrong. Instead, technology should support real life, not control it. Her approach focuses on empathy, flexibility, and small steps that match women’s daily energy and reality.
- The conversation closes with a powerful message: women must stop waiting for permission to speak about their health. You already know your body. You already feel when something is wrong. Technology should support that awareness, not silence it. Even small actions matter more than perfection. This episode encourages women to trust themselves, speak up, and seek better care when needed. It is about reclaiming power, healing, and building.
