In the pilot episode of SPEAK!, we open up the discussion on period stigma. Periods are a part of us, but they do not define us or our “womanhood”. Millions of people worldwide have menstrual cycles, but it is the societal shame inflicted on them that leads to a lack of discussion in one of the most crucial, natural, human developments. Misinformation when it comes to our own bodies only leads to miscommunication between us and our cycles. To negate this stigma, we welcome Marissa Sylvester, a registered health nutritionist and certified nurse educator, who specialized in health and nutrition as it pertains to menstrual cycles.
