#periodcon

Innovators in the period arena are being told "no-one is going to be interested in your product or idea"... Here's all of us at #periodcon rejecting that idea! #Repost @nextgenjane (@get_repost) ・・・ If the spirit moves you, speak on it 👊🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽 #PeriodCON https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJYW_ElCyy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gb0pq8yj51fd

Such cool swag from #periodcon! (And I will definitely be sharing info about some of these products with y'all) . But really, the best part has been meeting other people who are passionate about periods, especially the younger generation. I am so impressed by what some of these women, strike that, menstruators and non menstruators, have accomplished at an age when I was trying to figure out what I wanted to major in, studying, and maybe throwing in a party or two 😉 https://www.instagram.com/p/BtH_g1elNkU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9q7ynmvibzum

I'm so excited about #periodcon 2019 happening in NYC *today*!!! Until just last week I had no idea there were so many other period activists out there!! I can't wait to connect with people as passionate about periods as I am 💓 #Repost @nadyaokamoto (@get_repost) ・・・ I cannot believe #PERIODCON is tomorrow… signed a few hundred of these for all of you coming! We will be gathering #menstrualmovement activists from around the world together for this two-day event along with an incredible roster of speakers right here in NYC! 🙈 . Period activism is challenging because we’re fighting stigma that is so embedded into society and culture — we’re pushing against the status quo around a topic that most people don’t want to talk about or even mention. It’s hard not to feel discouraged by the giggles, smirks, and rejections we might experience regularly from just standing up for something we are truly passionate about: menstrual equity. That’s why #PERIODCON is so special, it’s an opportunity where everyone is smiling and cheering and hugging, all EXCITED and HUNGRY to talk more about periods, menstruation, period poverty, and so much more… it’s amazing… ❤️ . Anyways, to all the chapter members coming: YOU inspire me. In the rough patches of this event planning process, I just kept remembering WHO I was doing this for, and that filled me with all the motivation I needed. I hope that this weekend you have so much FUN, LEARN lots, and leave feeling INSPIRED and READY to take action. 2019 is going to be big, let’s do this. 👊🏽 . Huge thank you to @sharonamckee for bringing this event to life behind the scenes, @betsy_na and Vincent for being my partners in @periodmovement , @darawilk for working with me to pull in sponsors, and @tuprimaeira for engaging our beautiful chapter network ❤️ .

Developing, planning, and leading conferences is a huge undertaking. Our hats off to these first and second year MBA students on leading #PeriodCon, the first conference of its kind here at #YaleSOM.
