I’m very excited to be on my period today. In the last 2wks I’ve established a Free Likkle Cupboard of Sanitary Napkins on my Hall to reduce the amount of times a college woman will have to choose between a meal or a pad while on her period.

Today, I’m reminded that my period is a symbol of connection, unity & community with other Women. I share in her struggles, her pain, her diarrhea, her cramps, her nausea, her immobility etc while on her period.

I stand in community with other Women who have abnormal flows because of PCOS #RevealtheTeal as well as the challenges associated with endometriosis. Today, I’m reminded that though periods are dreadful for some persons, it is a sacred function of Women’s bodies.

I want to thank @thefreelikklecupboard, @GetWomansTouch and @djmillerJA for contributing to this cause and responding quickly and efficiently to my call for donations and assistance.

I’m still asking for donations and giving the public the opportunity to contribute to this initiative as we seek to #endperiodpoverty and #breakthestigma.

Can you help a College Woman in need?

Look at this beautiful FREE cupboard of sanitary products! A Woman no longer has to feel shy to ask a sister for a pad because she now has access. A Woman no longer as to choose between an extra item of grocery/ meal and a pad during menstruation 🩸 BECAUSE SHE HAS ACCESS

We’re accepting donations at @MarySeacoleHall ALL MONTH LONG!! 🎊

How do YOU break the stigma?
