🩸 50 Shades of RED: Our Menstrual Storytelling Project Begins

As Menstrual Health Month approaches, we’re proud to launch our flagship initiative: 50 Shades of RED — a bold and beautiful campaign honoring the lived experiences of people with periods.

This isn’t just a one-day event. It’s a movement.

A digital storytelling archive. A place to connect across generations. A way to smash the silence around menstrual and maternal health.

Why We're Doing This

Because period stories are powerful. Because shame has no place in our cycles. Because every shade of red deserves to be seen, heard, and honored.

From menarche to menopause, our stories carry wisdom — and we’re ready to tell them.

What to Expect This May

Throughout the month of May, we’ll share raw, real, and radically honest stories on our social media feed and blog. These stories will explore:

• 🩸 First period moments

• 🧓 Intergenerational wisdom

• 🌍 Cultural myths and traditions

• 💔 Pain, healing, and joy

• 🎨 Art inspired by the menstrual experience

Whether you’ve just started your cycle or you’re entering menopause, there’s a space for you here.
