The TV presenter and actress has been battling the chronic illness for years and continues to use her platform to raise awareness about it. Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it, causing severe pain and other health complications.
Natalie has often shared her personal journey, saying that many women suffer in silence due to a lack of awareness, affordable treatment, and proper medical attention.
Previous appeal to Ruto
In June 2024, Natalie made a heartfelt appeal to the national government, asking to meet President William Ruto and his then deputy Rigathi Gachagua to discuss better healthcare support for women battling endometriosis.

In her open letter, she described the daily struggles that patients go through and how the disease drains them both physically and mentally.
“This was me three years ago. Endo eats you up, hadi unakaa skeleton walai. Anyway, this is my plea today. A letter to the gov’t. Dear gov’t, I’ll appreciate it if I’m given a chance to just sit with the President of Kenya, William Samoei Ruto, and the Deputy President of Kenya, Rigathi Gachagua (at the time), and just talk about how women suffering from this monster can be helped to manage living with endometriosis,” she wrote.
Over time, Natalie has become one of the few Kenyan public figures who speak openly about living with endometriosis. She often highlights the need for awareness, early diagnosis, and improved treatment options.
Her openness has helped spark important conversations about women’s health, especially on conditions that are often ignored or misunderstood. Through her story, Natalie continues to inspire others facing similar challenges, urging both government and society to take women’s health issues seriously.
