Our Story Begins Here
Menstrual Market
Our mission is to bridge the gap between menstrual and maternal health through intergenerational storytelling, education, and service.
Menstrual Market was founded with a mission to erase period stigma and lack of menstrual health awareness in communities of color. Since 2023, we've been partnering with like-minded individuals and organizations to make our vision a reality. We're proud to say that our mission have given many BIPOC people with periods a safe space to share their stories and a chance to transform generational stigmas in their communities.
We offer free educational workshops, low-cost doula services, doual trainings, and intergenerational storytelling events to break the stigma. We support your journey from menarche to menopause and everything in between!
INTERGENERATIONALSTORYTELLING
By connecting the period stories within our families, we create future change. Black and Latino families are the most unlikely groups to discuss periods within their families. By encouraging generations of women to talk about periods together, we open up the conversation and help families recognize hereditary menstrual related health issues sooner.
THE ART OF SERVICE
Through our service programs, we are able to provide menstrual health and maternal health supplies to those in need. We offer free workshops to help mothers navigate postpartum changes and build community through motherhood. We also provide low-cost doula support and doula trainings to provide quality care and healthy womb experiences.
EDUCATION FOR ALL GENERATIONS
Menstrual health doesn't just affect people with periods, all people they encounter are impacted! Whether you have a periods yourself or are a parent, sibling, caregiver, coach, educator, employer, we partner with organizations to create the tools and safe spaces for caregivers to talk about and learn about menstruation with confidence.
