The Ana Cruz Show

What happens when a painful diagnosis becomes the inspiration to help other women find answers sooner?

In this episode of The Ana Cruz Show, I sit down with Dejanae Parkman, Founder and CEO of Dotted, to talk about her personal journey with endometriosis, how it impacted her dreams of motherhood, and how that experience inspired her to create a new approach to period care.

We also talk about entrepreneurship, turning pain into purpose, and how The Pitch 2026 helped Dejanae strengthen her vision for Dotted and become Social Innovator of the Year.
