Short video but cliffs:
  • Her organization, No More Secrets Mind Body Spirit Inc was founded in 2012 as is one of the only organizations that provides comprehensive sexuality awareness organizations for women.
  • One of her initiatives "Period or not, respect the dot", aims to address the systemic racism in the menstrual health space by amplifying Black voices and to decrease generational silence and stigma about menstruation in Black communities.
  • She and her daughter Nya utilize their time (and money) to assemble and distribute bags & baskets filled with feminine hygiene products for women who are unable to afford them throughout the greater Philadelphia area and has expanded into New Jersey & Delaware.



Her website https://www.nomoresecretsmbs.org/

Link to her GoFundMe for The Menstrual Hub which will be a safe nonjudgmental space to provide acceptance, understanding, education, period care, period resources and access to clean water and toilets to women and girls just like ourselves who are so much more than an overlooked societal statistic.

Mentrual products should be allowed to be purchased with HSA Health Savings Account money as well as with EBT.
