  • Shame, Stigma, and Normalization of Periods

    Shame, Stigma, and Normalization of Periods
    Aug 2 2022
    Libra synergy engaged! August’s creative powerhouses and fellow Libras Neddy and Ruby are on today’s episode talking about their personal and professional evolution of the normalization of periods–specifically their own…on social media. Working for a company like August has pushed them well past what they assumed their comfort zones to be, but it didn’t start out that way–it’s been a lot of awkward TikToking from semi-public areas, but the journey has rewarded them in ways they never could have imagined.
