Endometriosis has impacted Alex's, Lani's and Lauren’s lives. Beginning with abnormal and severe symptoms, each woman shares experiences with the range of debilitating symptoms Endometriosis causes. Individually they speak to the complicated journey of navigating doctors, public healthcare and insurance to gain a diagnosis. Each woman describes the emotional toll of undergoing multiple surgeries to diagnose and relieve pain. As Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women, the ultimate goal of sharing their stories is to support young women and normalise the conversation to give them the confidence to speak up about their pain, receive a better range of treatment and explore options considered outside the norm. 

With the invitation to the party is the stipulation: "Don't Bring Lulu". A playful romp through women's fight for equality.
