Access 4 All: Pads Positivity is all about making sanitary products accessible to EVERYONE!

Imagine being in public and getting your period unexpectedly, but having nowhere to get the products you need. It's time to break the taboo and make menstruation a normal part of life.

I started "Access 4 All: Pads Positivity" after a life-changing moment mentoring at an after-school program. A brave girl shared her story of being bullied for soiling herself due to lack of menstrual products. Her words stuck with me, and I knew I had to act. My initiative aims to make sanitary products accessible, promoting period positivity and ensuring everyone has access to safe and reliable products, regardless of their background or location. Beginning with public schools in low income neighborhoods in Chicago, the funds raised will be used to set up free cabinets in the school’s bathroom. The cabinets will be stocked up monthly with sanitary products so anyone who needs them can access whenever.
