About Jiyoma
Jiyoma is a fibroid-focused women's health platform founded to make community, symptom tracking, and research participation easier to access in one trusted place.
Fibroid care can feel fragmented. People are often left trying to understand symptoms, compare treatment experiences, prepare for appointments, and find trustworthy support across disconnected tools. Jiyoma brings those needs together through a dedicated platform for fibroid awareness, education, community, tracking, and ethical research.
Jiyoma was founded by Deloria R. Jackson, a public health entrepreneur whose work grew from her experience recruiting participants for dissertation research at Florida A&M University. The platform reflects a simple belief: when women can share what they are experiencing, the whole field can learn and move forward.
Jiyoma is pronounced "Gee-Om-Ah." The name combines Gia, meaning earth or life, with Oma, meaning grandmother or wisdom. Together, it points to lived wisdom passed through generations.
The Jiyoma mark uses the dandelion as a symbol of resilience, hope, and knowledge spreading from one person to another. It reflects the way one woman's story can help another woman feel less alone.
