It’s #bannedbookweek! Did you hear about my book Own Your Period being banned in the US? It was featured on the excellent + irreverent #Libraries episode of @LastWeekTonight! Thanks, @iamjohnoliver! Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=42xZB80s…🩸 #PeriodPositiveMovement #MenstrualLiteracy

And on a personal note, congrats and thanks to hard-working friends and colleagues across several parties on their successes today. Big or small, it all adds up to what we hope will be positive change, particularly for those who have been most disenfranchised by the last govt.
Today in England we're seeing red, but not because we're angry! Help us reach out to newly elected MPs with your messages calling for inclusive statutory #MenstrualLiteracyForAll. ❤️🩸 Sign up on our website.
