I was on the radio this morning following the @GovNL announcement to distribute 4.7 million menstrual products across Newfoundland and Labrador⬇️ cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

2 years ago, I emailed @GovNL to ask that they adopt a similar approach to the Ontario government who collaborated with Shoppers Drug Mart to provide free period products. Saw this announcement this morning📣 @period_priority gov.nl.ca/releases/2025/…

From witnessing period-related discrimination to founding the @period_priority, @LeishaToory’s story is one of profound impact. Growing up where menstrual health was taboo, her journey became a quest to dismantle the barriers preventing voices like hers from being heard.

I'm deeply honored to have my story as the founder of the Period Priority Project , "Periods Were Whispered About, I'm Speaking Out Loud," featured on The Honest Talk, a platform that has quickly become a leading voice for women in North America (2/2) thehonesttalk.ca/honest-thought…

Being featured alongside Canada’s most influential and inspiring women—TV hosts, journalists, entrepreneurs, business and cultural leaders, ambassadors, Olympians, authors, and politicians—is an incredible honor (1/2) thehonesttalk.ca/honest-thought…
