Below are the most common ways low progesterone shows up in the menstrual cycle:

Short Christmas Stories By Famous And Everyday Black Women
Below, SuzyKnew! republishes a post from December 2019 sharing a radio broadcast, a couple of poems, and news stories on Christmas by famous and everyday Black women
Looking For Black Santa, Leoneda Inge, WUNC, North Carolina Public Radio December 2011
Durham, North Carolina is one of the most diverse communities in the state. Mayor Bill Bell likes to say it’s the city with NO racial majority. Then why is it so hard to find an African American Santa Claus?
….Two years ago, I found the cutest 1970s photo of me and my younger sister sitting on a white Santa’s lap. I loved the photo so much, I decided to make it my annual holiday card. But before the copies went out – I asked a friend to do a little photo-shopping – to give Santa a tan. Now that really made me smile. I mailed it to black friends and white friends, relatives and co-workers – they loved it!
