Every girl deserves to show up as her full self - at school. at work, and at play. She deserves to learn, participate, dream, and pursue her goals without worrying about whether she has a pad or need to rely on toilet paper to get through her day

Sometimes we underestimate how much access to these essentials can shape a girl's confidence, dignity, anc opportunities.

In honor ofInternational Day of the Girl, I'm inviting you to be part of that impact.

Consider becoming a monthly donor to HAGO Your consistent support helps us continue providing essential resources, creating opportunities, and reminding girls that they matter - not iust today, but every day.

Because supporting girls goes beyond celebrating their potential. It means making sure they have what they need to reach it.

Since 2018, we’ve educated over 20,000 youth, adults, teachers and community leaders ❤️ Let’s keep the conversation going 🩸🩸

Every young person (including boys) deserves access to accurate, inclusive, and stigma-free puberty education. Periods shouldn’t be a mystery, a source of shame, or a barrier to confidence and opportunity.

Your support can help break the stigma, spread awareness, and empower the next generation with the knowledge they deserve.

💗 Give to educate. Give to empower. Give for period equity.

Join our monthly giving campaign and help make menstrual health education accessible to all. Link to donate in bio

Join us at our upcoming community Snap Party!

Reusable pad kits are sustainable menstrual care packages containing washable, absorbent cloth pads that can be used repeatedly over several years.

At Help A Girl Out, reusable pad kits are an important component of The Reusables Project (TRP), an initiative that combines menstrual equity, environmental sustainability, education, and practical skills development.

A Snap Party is a community event to increase the production of reusable menstrual pad kits by bringing together volunteers to quality check reusable pads, apply KAM snaps, complete unfinished sewing projects, and assemble finished pad sets into wet bags.

Regardless of race, religion, nationality, or gender, I believe every human being deserves one fundamental right — the right to live with dignity.

I believe God created each of us to love and care for one another and, above all else, to uphold one another’s dignity. Throughout my life, and to this very moment, that is all I have strived to do.

I am deeply humbled to have received the Governor General’s award in Commemoration of the Persons Case.

To my mother, who, in the face of extraordinary hardship and with the humblest of means, fought tirelessly to protect my dignity and my education, and in doing so, helped shape the woman I am today — thank you.

I thank God for the strength and grace to continue this journey. I thank my incredible Help A Girl Out @hago_canada team for their unwavering belief in our mission. And I am forever grateful to the little island of Jamaica, where my story began and where the seeds of my purpose were first planted.

Finally, I leave you with this reminder — ‘our greatest impact is not measured by the recognition we receive, but by the dignity we restore, the lives we uplift, and the doors we open for those who come after us.’

Congratulations to the other extraordinary recipients.

Last week, we brought together an inspiring group of partners, advocates, and stakeholders for an evening of meaningful conversations and collective action. 🩸

Together, we explored the past, present, and future of menstrual equity—reflecting on how far we've come in challenging period poverty and stigma, the barriers that continue to affect millions, and the opportunities we have to create lasting, systemic change.

The evening was also an opportunity to share HAGO's journey, celebrate the progress we've made in expanding access to menstrual products and comprehensive menstrual health education. Most importantly we had the opportunity to introduce HAGO’s vision for the future.

Our key message: Awareness is only the beginning. Real change happens when we turn knowledge into action. 🩸🙋‍♀️

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us, contributed to the conversation, and demonstrated their commitment to building a future where menstruation is never a barrier to education, opportunity, health, or dignity.
