Endocipota - Nathali Zamora

As if debilitating pain is not enough, endometriosis patients must also contend with being dismissed by doctors and maybe even family. Nathali fought for years to get diagnosed and treated. Now she fights as the Endocipota so that others, specially Central Americans, can find the help they need

Nathali Zamora is a Brooklyn born first-generation American of Central American descent. She manages a finance career by day and endometriosis advocacy as the EndoCipota by night.
