After years of debilitating period pain and unexplained symptoms, Malak finally gets a diagnosis: she has endometriosis. Despite being so prevalent, the disease has no known cause, no cure, and is not taken seriously, even by her own mother. In "I Told You So," Malak grapples with a tumultuous relationship with her pain, her body and her dreams for the future.
