The Black Women's Health Imperative’s Me Period Day is launching this year on National Daughters Day, during the organization's anniversary week. This national day of action empowers Black mothers and caregivers to help young people stay in tune with their bodies, establish healthy habits, and learn how to become their best health advocates. By fostering open, informed conversations about menstruation, Me Period Day also advocates for menstrual equity —ensuring everyone has access to affordable period products and the information they need. As part of this day, we are proud to feature Me Period, our powerful documentary that explores how Black mothers and daughters navigate conversations about menstruation.
Why Me Period Day Matters
Taking place every year on National Daughters Day, Me Period Day is about more than just menstruation - it’s about empowering the next generation with knowledge and advocacy. With nearly 1 in 4 women in the U.S. struggling to afford period products, and menstruation still considered taboo in many homes and schools, Me Period Day aims to change the conversation and drive meaningful action.
Whether you’re celebrating a first period or breaking down period myths, we want to hear from you. Use our customizable Me Period Day image frames and hashtags to share your story, and you’ll be automatically entered to win a year’s supply of period products.
Lead the movement for menstrual health equity by hosting a period product drive. Collect unopened period products and donate them to shelters or thrift stores for free distribution, ensuring that those in need have access to essential menstrual care.
Let us know what you have planned for Me Period Day and support BWHI's menstrual equity work today!
