We're very happy that you want to join our workshop. During this session, our guest Sekai Makoni will share her learnings from her 'Period' residency, focusing on period health and barriers to holistic support among Black people who menstruate. From exploring cultural approaches to centering Black voices, to sharing methods for dealing with periods and fostering a co-learning space, Sekai will guide us through a reflective journey.
We'll journal, reflect on our personal period journeys, and explore various perspectives on menstruation. This session is for everyone who menstruates or experiences period problems. Join us for open and supportive conversations where we learn from each other and grow together!
