According to our friends at and , nearly 4 in 10 teens are more comfortable using AI than a tampon.

This is why The Kwek Society offers menstrual education materials to our partner schools as part of our period care shipments---menstrual education is CRITICAL.

Our wonderful partners at the Wabeno Area School District made sure their students are stocked for the school year!

We sent over moon time and Auntie bags, plus some extra period care for distribution to make sure students aren't worrying about where their next pad or tampon will come from.

It's a step forward in ending period poverty!

ICYMI: Pennsylvania allocated another $3M to providing free period care in public schools.

Since 2024, the state has allocated now $9M to ending period poverty in public schools, improving health equity for menstruators across the state.

More states should be like PA!

🌝 Full moon alert! 🌝

Tomorrow at 12:19AM ET, the minkégises (blueberry picking moon) will be full.

We all love a sweet minen (blueberry) in the summer, but for Indigenous people minen hold a special place in our hearts (and of course our stomachs) because we were the first to cultivate minen!
