Join Tidal Babe Period Bank, a program of COVERD Greater Cincinnati, for our very first Period Power Party!
It's a fact - at least 50% of the population have periods. Yet society has taught us that periods are gross, embarrassing, and should never be spoken about. We want you to know that having a period is a normal, biological function that you shouldn't be ashamed of. It's time to turn the stigma of menstruation into a celebration! And that's exactly what we're gonna do.
➡ Baby Cakes Mini Pancakes food truck will be on site!
➡ We'll have crafts available like coloring pages, worksheets, AND a chance to create your own period pouch.
➡ There will be free film screenings of the Oscar-winning film "Period. End of Sentence." plus free popcorn!
➡ We will have a period kit packing station so you can help us pack the 30,000 period kits that we distribute each month to our partner agencies.
This event isn't just for "women" and "girls" and we highly encourage EVERYONE to join. Register at the link above.

ABOUT THE FILM:
Run time: 25 minutes
In a rural village outside Delhi, India, women lead a quiet revolution. They fight against the deeply rooted stigma of menstruation. Period. End of Sentence., a documentary short directed by Rayka Zehtabchi, tells their story. For generations, these women didn’t have access to pads, which led to health problems and girls missing school or dropping out entirely. But when a sanitary pad machine is installed in the village, the women learn to manufacture and market their own pads, empowering the women of their community. They name their brand, “FLY,” because they want women “to soar.”
