Podcast Feature with She Speaks: Diana Thomas on Breaking Barriers in Fertility

When our founder & CEO, Diana Thomas, began her own IVF journey in the 1990s, there were no guidelines, no agencies, and no real support systems for families using donor eggs. What she faced was uncharted territory.
That personal experience is what fueled her mission to build The World Egg and Sperm Bank and to bring transparency, ethics, and rigorous standards to an industry that impacts millions of families worldwide.
In this episode of the *SheSpeaks: Women of Influence* podcast with Aliza Freud, Diana opens up about:
- Her 15-year battle with infertility and how it shaped TWESB’s mission.
- The realities of the global egg donation landscape, including trafficking, exploitation, and legislative gaps.
- Why transparency and rigorous screening are critical, and the questions every intended parent should ask their clinic.
- Practical advice for women navigating fertility challenges and advocating for themselves during an emotional and complex process.
Whether you are navigating fertility yourself, working in a clinic, or simply seeking to better understand this rapidly evolving field, Diana’s story is both eye-opening and inspiring.
