The new menstrual health education curriculum will be implemented in D.C. schools starting next year. This is the first time that a comprehensive menstrual health education curriculum will be taught in all public schools in a major U.S. city. The curriculum will cover topics such as anatomy, puberty, menstruation, and reproductive health. Amanda talks about the importance of this curriculum and how it will help to break down the stigma around menstruation and empower young people to take control of their own health.

Another topic on the show is Erykah Badu’s recent concert in Florida, where she called out fans for leaving early. Badu had stopped the concert to address the issue of people leaving, saying that she felt disrespected by their actions. Amanda talks about the importance of respecting artists and their performances, and how it's important to be mindful of the impact that our actions can have on others.

Amanda discusses a recent ruling by a federal judge in Florida that blocked a ban on using Medicaid for gender-affirming care. The ban had been put in place by the state's Republican Governor, Ron DeSantis. Amanda talks about the importance of this ruling and how it will help to ensure that transgender people have access to the care they need.

Also we talk about the unveiling of a new U.S. Postal Service stamp honoring congressman John Lewis. Lewis was a civil rights icon who fought for equality and justice for all. Amanda talks about the importance of Lewis’ legacy and how the stamp is a fitting tribute to his work.

In addition to these topics, Amanda also discusses other news stories and current events. She also shares her thoughts on a variety of topics, including pop culture, politics, and social justice. The Amanda Seales Show is a great way to stay informed and engaged with the world around you.

I hope you enjoy the show!
