Period Health Event with “We are Happy Period”.


@wearehappyperiod
hosted an amazing event centered around period health for us at the beautiful @thesalteaters bookshop in Inglewood!
We started our day with a quick walking tour through historical Market Street.

But the main event was a conversation with @chelseavonchaz about our periods. Why do they exist, what happens when they come and how to take care of ourselves once they arrive.

We learned about the different types of period products including the newish period cup and disc with @flex company.

We rounded our day off with a yoga session for period cramps and gifts from @shoepalace

90% of the participants surveyed said they would be able to help a friend who didn’t know about their periods.

100% said they learned something new about their bodies.

All of our programming is free and open to ALL girls and gender-nonconforming youth and teens in the hood.

We remove barriers like transportation, membership fees, and food.
