Hi, this is NONI! When I started puberty, I loved hearing stories about mamas' and bintis' first cycles. The stories were always different and gave me some sense of the future. I thought other bintis may also find this information useful, so my mama and I started, Another Cycle.

Another Cycle is a series where, I (Noni) ask bintis and mamas to share their experience with their first cycle. These are quick episodes with lots of wisdom. As you will hear, we don't share the names, but you will recognize some voices. We hope you enjoy!

Take Aways from this Another Cycle story:

- Your first cycle does not always come with red blood.

- Your first cycles are not always regular.

- It can be nice to have friends around.

As always, if you think someone can benefit from our conversation, please share and join us for other episodes and resources at www.thebinti.com.

Oh, bintis and mamas, if you are interested in sharing your story with us, please reach to us at [email protected]. I would love to hear your story!
