More quotes by Gloria Orwoba

Since I am always advocating against period shame, I thought I should go ahead and walk the talk.

That’s a whole pack that you’ve wasted because of the fear of staining your clothes.

The first thing that we have been taught is that periods are dirty and shouldn’t be seen.

My attitude toward menstruation since then has been open.

I long for the day when accidental period stains will be seen as normal, not shameful. Women and girls are using up valuable sanitary pads by wearing them as a precaution out of anxiety.
