Nina Kuypers is a dedicated menopause activist and the founder of Black Women in Menopause, an organisation committed to creating a safe space for Black women to share their menopause experiences and access support. Confronted with a lack of culturally relevant information and representation, Nina recognised the need for a platform that addresses the unique challenges faced by Black women during menopause.

Nina’s advocacy extends to public speaking and policy influence. She has shared her personal menopause journey at an All-Party Parliamentary Group for Menopause, highlighting the need for inclusive conversations that consider the diverse experiences of menopausal individuals. Additionally, she has contributed written evidence to parliamentary inquiries, emphasizing the importance of addressing menopause in the workplace, especially concerning Black women.

Beyond her work with Black Women in Menopause, Nina serves as a board member for the Hwupenyu Health and Wellbeing Project, a charity based in Glasgow that supports Black ethnic communities in Scotland living with chronic health conditions.
