I believe a collective healing happens when people from that collective share their stories out loud, when the story no longer remains untold, hushed, and forgotten.For many of the women I interviewed, no one had asked them about the story of their first period, it was a forgotten story one not to be brought up… I was honoured to hear them tell their stories for the first time. This collection of first period stories, I see it as a healing circle, but also as an archive of stories for those who have not yet stepped into their cycle.
There is a power and beauty in sharing our stories….
