Joni wants to hear your period stories

You may know Canadian period care brand Joni for their organic pads and tampons or their smart commercial period dispensers, but for their next period project, they need a little help from you. The brand is issuing a call for entries for its upcoming Book on Periods, due to launch in November, which will feature real period stories from folks in North America. With this anthology, the hope is to educate and empower people who menstruate — and to end the stigma that talking about periods is dirty or shameful.

According to the brand, one in three menstruators under the age of 25 live in period poverty. As the book becomes available for purchase in the fall, all profits will go towards providing free period care products to non-profit organizations, and schools across the U.S. and Canada.
