Menstrual Health & Period Poverty: Why We’re Still Getting Women’s Health Wrong

Описание: Menstrual health affects half the population — yet period poverty, stigma, and outdated systems continue to limit access, education, and equity.

In this episode of Conversations with Geoff, we explore the real issues surrounding menstrual health, period poverty, and women’s health leadership with Monique “The Period Plug” Black, M.Ed., founder of That Time of the Month Club.

This conversation goes beyond awareness. We discuss practical solutions, sustainable menstrual products, public health education, and how leaders can address menstrual equity at the systems level.

Topics covered in this episode:

• What is period poverty and why it still exists
• The importance of menstrual health education
• Sustainable menstrual products like menstrual cups and discs
• How schools, prisons, and public institutions handle women’s health
• Health equity and access to period care
• Breaking stigma around vaginal wellness
• How leadership influences public health outcomes

Monique works at the intersection of education, advocacy, and social entrepreneurship — partnering with healthcare providers, nonprofits, correctional facilities, and government institutions to normalize menstrual health conversations and expand access to sustainable period care.
