Tribe member @verapapisova is putting an end to period shaming in @teenvogue's #septemberissue Congratulations Vera and thank you! #ilovemytribe ❣❣❣❣❣
@verapapisova: "I investigate period stigma and ending the cycle of shaming women for their bodies. I wish I could show this to 13-year-old me, whose 7th grade history teacher embarrassed her in front of her entire class when she got her first period at school. I bled all over my chair, and was so ashamed after everyone laughed at me that I ate lunch in the girls' bathroom for a week. This is for anyone who ever whispered just to ask for a tampon, hid your period from a boy because you were scared he would think you were gross, or had to make up a reason you missed something because you were ashamed to say your cramps were debilitating. Our bodies are not embarrassing." ??????? #forgirlsbygirls #chooseyourself #loveyourself #loveyourbody #beconfident #selfworth #feminist #feminism #girlpower #girlsrule #girlboss #girls #selflovepinkyring #selfcare #period #beyourself #breakthecycle #womenempowerment #womenempoweringwomen #thefutureisfemale #herstory
