American Menstrual Journal- Combating Menstruation Stigma

As a recent graduate of Lincoln High School and engaged student activist, I have been honored to work on many issues to improve my community and my world such as advancing racial justice and advancing gender equity.  My work to reduce the stigma of menstruation was recently profiled in my hometown newspaper the Lincoln Journal Star. The State Director of the ACLU read about my work and asked me to write a blog to share my recent research. So I put together this blog before I head off to American University in D.C. for college next week.
