The Power of Community: Equity for Black Menstruators. Period.
In the refreshed and revamped iteration of Better to Speak: The Period Project, Kesi is joined by Asia Brown, co-founder of 601 for Period Equity, and Lena Vann, founder of The Black Period Project. They are two young Black women who are HBCU students and founders of respective community organizations working to bring awareness to period inequity in the South and elsewhere.
Listen in on the discussion to get their insights on how to better support Black menstruators, develop a gender-inclusive perspective of menstrual rights, and understand the larger societal issues that impact period injustice.
