🩸 Make a Difference: Period Product Drive

Why It Matters

Endometriosis is a chronic, under-diagnosed disease that affects millions—and it deserves to be seen, heard, and understood. Events like these help raise awareness, foster community, and support menstrual equity across Houston.

Whether you live with endometriosis, love someone who does, or simply care about storytelling and social justice, this event is for you!

✨ Let’s come together to support authors with endometriosis, build awareness around chronic illness, and lift up our community one page—and one period product—at a time.

We can’t wait to see you there!
