“My story starts with fibroids and I wouldn’t forget the gynaecologist who for almost ten years told me that I was infertile, and I would never be able to have a baby.”
These are words of 43-year-old Samantha Gooden who recently became a mother. Samantha has been sharing her journey on Facebook and I reached out her. She agreed to speak to me from her home in the United States via the Zoom platform.
Her parents are Jamaican, but she was born in England and she has lived and worked in several countries, including Guyana, where she said she was adopted as a daughter of the soil. She has had many jobs, but today professionally describes herself as a marketing coach/consultant.
