About
MyHealth MyLife
Advancing prevention-focused health education through community engagement, partnerships, and culturally informed resources.
We started because the gap was impossible to ignore.
Dr. Alawode has spent years as an OB-GYN watching the same story repeat itself: patients arriving too late, with conditions that could have been prevented or at least caught earlier if they’d simply had access to the right information at the right time.
MyHealthMyLife exists because of that pattern. Not as a clinical service, but as an educational bridge — the kind of clear, trusted, culturally relevant health knowledge that too many communities still don’t have.
We focus on teenage girls and young women, young men, and women in their prime years — populations where early education creates the longest-lasting change. We do this work in the United States, with a commitment to expanding across Africa, where the same information gaps persist, with even fewer resources to address them. This is prevention work. Not crisis response. Not charity. Education — delivered with respect, rooted in evidence, and built for the communities that need it most.
Clotilde Monguya, MD, MPH
International Health Diplomat, Advocate
& Social Entrepreneur
What sets her apart is the range. She moves comfortably between government ministries and grassroots organizations, between boardrooms and rural clinics — always focused on the same underlying question: how do you actually get resources and systems to the people who need them? Her work in healthcare delivery spans Belgium and Sub-Saharan Africa, where she has developed and funded initiatives in both urban centers and underserved communities far off the beaten path.
Gender equity and community empowerment aren’t just causes Dr. Monguya champions — they shape how she works. She trains healthcare and social workers, mentors emerging leaders, and speaks publicly in ways that are as much about transferring knowledge as they are about advocacy.
She is fluent in French, Lingala, and English, which reflects something deeper than language skills — a life shaped by multiple cultures, and a genuine ease navigating them.
In 2023, she received the United States President’s Volunteer Service Award, one of several recognitions of her humanitarian work. Outside of her professional life, she’s a mother of two, a reader, a traveler, and someone who finds as much meaning in showing up for a community as in any formal credential.
WHY THIS WORK MATTERS
The information gap is real. And it’s costing lives.
O1
Communities are underserved, not unintelligent
The populations we serve aren’t lacking the ability to act on health information. They’re lacking access to information that speaks their language, reflects their reality, and meets them where they are.
O2
Prevention is cheaper — and kinder — than treatment
Cervical cancer. Preeclampsia. STIs. These aren’t mysteries. They’re conditions with known prevention pathways. Education is the first pathway — and the most overlooked.
O3
Young people deserve accurate information — not fear
Too much youth health education relies on fear and shame. We take a different approach: accurate, age-appropriate, dignity-centered content that builds confidence, not anxiety.
What We Stand For
VALUE 01
Cultural Honesty
Health education only works if it reflects the real lives of the people it’s meant to reach. We design for specificity, not universality.
VALUE 03
Prevention First
We don’t wait for crisis to intervene. Our programs are designed to build knowledge before it’s urgently needed because that’s when it’s most effective.
VALUE 02
Evidence Over Opinion
Everything we teach is grounded in current, peer-reviewed evidence. We work with clinicians and community health experts — not just content writers.
VALUE 04
Global Thinking
The health gaps we see in underserved US communities mirror what we see across Sub-Saharan Africa. Our model is built to travel — and to adapt.
Our Commitment
We are committed to:
-
Prevention-focused health education
