Episode Title: What's next for reparations for Black Californians?
Description:
Death, taxes and menopause? It is inevitable that most women will eventually experience menopause, if they are lucky.
But it is one of those subjects that few people talk about, and that can leave women experiencing symptoms feeling confused, scared and alone.
On Midday Edition, we are pulling back the curtain on menopause, lifting the taboo, and talking about the sometimes debilitating, sometimes welcome changes associated with menopause, the state of modern treatment, and how we, as a society, can support women as they go through this stage of life.
Guests:
Andrea LaCroix, a Distinguished Professor of Epidemiology at UC San Diego who specializes in the health of postmenopausal and older women.
Dr. Cynthia Stuenkel, a Clinical Professor of Medicine at the UC San Diego school of medicine. She established one of the first menopause programs in the country.
Jill Wood, PhD, teaches Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Penn State University. Her research includes the menopausal transition and sexual desire.
Catherine Balsam-Schwaber, CEO of Kindra, a self-care company for women in menopause, and supporter of employers offering employees menopause leave as a benefit.

Description:
Efforts are underway to restrict the rights of LGBTQ+ youth across the country, including San Diego County. Last week, students at Carlsbad High walked out to protest what they said was a lack of support for the LGBTQ+ community.
Book bans are also escalating in classrooms and libraries in an effort to suppress certain content, particularly about race, history, sexual orientation and gender. Many of the books in question have LGBTQ+ characters and themes.
As we enter Pride Month, we look at what is happening at both the local and national level, and the concentrated efforts to censor LGBTQ+ voices and stories.
Guests:
