Halle Berry Says She's Owning Her Sexuality While Going Through Menopause: 'I'm Solidly in My Womanhood'
etonline.comHalle Berry is looking to challenge the way we think about menopause. The 56-year-old actress spoke to about what it really means to own your age and sexuality, and why she's ready to start the conversation when it comes to destigmatizing discussions on women's health.While some may argue that it's easy for Berry to talk about health and loving your body when she's one of the most beautiful people in the world, the Academy Award winner pushes back on that thinking, telling the outlet that community is the true solution to removing the stigma that comes with discussing women's health issues. «If you start the conversation, most women will follow.
Do you know why? Because it's something that we're dying to do,» Berry says. «It's something that we've been deprived of, and it's something that we want to share with one another.
We just need the permission to do it.»She continues: «Community is the entrée into understanding. We're all going through it.
And we learn from one another when we talk about it, when we become curious, and when we share with each other what we're going through.
