Katie, Raine, and Tina the Tampon Lady

The TMI Project Story Hour

Eva talks to Katie, Tina, and Raine to explore the ultimate TMI topic: menstruation. Get a sneak peek into TMI Project’s partnership with the brave students of Kingston High School’s Period Power! Club as they prepare for their upcoming performance and emphasize the challenges faced by those who menstruate, the impact of period poverty, and the urgent need for comprehensive education.

Join us on December 6th, 2023 for a live performance in Kingston, NY - or via livestream from anywhere with an internet connection. RSVP today!

Period Power! Club is a chapter of PERIOD.ORG.

Writing Prompt: Write a true story about a memorable experience you have related to period products. It could be the first time you used a specific product or saw a product on a shelf, a humorous incident, or a moment when your choice of period products was influenced by others.
