Fashion designer Roya Rasouli, who battled undiagnosed endometriosis for ten years, emphasizes the importance of addressing health issues in the workplace. After finally receiving a diagnosis in 2019, she committed to sharing her story to raise awareness and improve support for others suffering from similar conditions.
