It’s time to set the record straight! Menstrual health policy isn’t a luxury but a fundamental aspect of gender equity and human dignity. By advocating for robust menstrual health policies, we’re not only breaking taboos but also ensuring that every person has the resources and support they need for a healthy and dignified life. Let’s prioritize menstrual health as a crucial component of our collective efforts towards equality and sustainable development. 💪🩸 #MenstrualHealth #PolicyMatters #GenderEquality #HumanRights 🌸💜 Mrs. Pennsylvania International 2024 ~ Tamara Abney the “Period Hero” ~A Wife, Mommy of 2, and an unwavering advocate for menstrual equity, proudly leading SisterFriend, Inc. and creating a world where students can embrace their changing bodies with confidence and pride without barriers. #PAIntlpageant #Pageantsinpa #mrsinternational #mrsintl2024 #intlpageant #beautyqueen #pageantlife #pageantry #mrspageant #mrspageantry #mrspageants #rolemodel #sisterfriend #periodpoverty #menstrualequity #tamaraabney #abneyfamily #PeriodPosseBook #PeriodActionDay #MenstrualEquity #GlobalChange #PeriodPoverty #SisterFriend #MakeADifference #periodpartychallenge

Let’s face it: menstruation affects half of the population, and it’s about time we treat it with the attention and care it deserves. By implementing menstrual health policies, we can ensure that everyone has the resources they need to manage their periods with dignity and without shame. It’s time to prioritize menstrual health policy and work towards a more equitable and inclusive society. 🌸💜 Mrs. Pennsylvania International 2024 ~ Tamara Abney the “Period Hero” ~A Wife, Mommy of 2, and an unwavering advocate for menstrual equity, proudly leading SisterFriend, Inc. and creating a world where students can embrace their changing bodies with confidence and pride without barriers. #PAIntlpageant #Pageantsinpa #mrsinternational #mrsintl2024 #intlpageant #beautyqueen #pageantlife #pageantry #mrspageant #mrspageantry #mrspageants #rolemodel #sisterfriend #periodpoverty #menstrualequity #tamaraabney #abneyfamily #PeriodPosseBook #PeriodActionDay #MenstrualEquity #GlobalChange #PeriodPoverty #SisterFriend #MakeADifference #periodpartychallenge

🎉 Exciting News Alert! 🎉 Pennsylvania is taking a monumental step towards menstrual equity in schools! This week, @repdarishaparker and @rephillevans ’s HB 851 passed the PA House with overwhelming bipartisan support. 🏛️ We’ve been championing this cause tirelessly because we believe every student should have access to menstrual hygiene products allowing them to have a Carefree School Day. Period. Did you know that 1 in 5 students in the United States and 1 in 10 Globally miss school because of the lack of access to period products? It’s a shocking reality that I’m committed to bringing awareness and resources to, as the next Mrs. International. When girls lack access to basic hygiene supplies, they resort to unsafe alternatives, putting their health at risk. Our students deserve better, and HB 851 is a crucial step in the right direction. 💪🏾 Next stop: the Senate! Let’s keep pushing for progress and ensure that every student in Pennsylvania can focus on learning, not their period. Together, we’re making a difference!🌟🩸 🌸💜 Mrs. Pennsylvania International 2024 ~ Tamara Abney the “Period Hero” ~A Wife, Mommy of 2, and an unwavering advocate for menstrual equity, proudly leading SisterFriend, Inc. and creating a world where students can embrace their changing bodies with confidence and pride without barriers. #PAIntlpageant #Pageantsinpa #mrsinternational #mrsintl2024 #intlpageant #beautyqueen #pageantlife #pageantry #mrspageant #mrspageantry #mrspageants #rolemodel #sisterfriend #periodpoverty #menstrualequity #tamaraabney #abneyfamily #PeriodPosseBook #PeriodActionDay #MenstrualEquity #GlobalChange #PeriodPoverty #SisterFriend #MakeADifference #periodpartychallenge

It’s time to debunk the myth that intense menstrual pain is just something we have to endure. While it’s true that some cramping and discomfort are typical during periods, experiencing severe pain could signal something more serious. Whether it’s endometriosis, fibroids, or another condition, it’s crucial to listen to your body and seek medical advice if your period pain is disrupting your daily life. Let’s prioritize menstrual health and advocate for proper care and support for all individuals experiencing discomfort during their menstrual cycles. Your well-being matters! 💪🏾🩸 🌸💜 Mrs. Pennsylvania International 2024 ~ Tamara Abney the “Period Hero” ~A Wife, Mommy of 2, and an unwavering advocate for menstrual equity, proudly leading SisterFriend, Inc. and creating a world where students can embrace their changing bodies with confidence and pride without barriers. #PAIntlpageant #Pageantsinpa #mrsinternational #mrsintl2024 #intlpageant #beautyqueen #pageantlife #pageantry #mrspageant #mrspageantry #mrspageants #rolemodel #sisterfriend #periodpoverty #menstrualequity #tamaraabney #abneyfamily #PeriodPosseBook #PeriodActionDay #MenstrualEquity #GlobalChange #PeriodPoverty #SisterFriend #MakeADifference #periodpartychallenge

I’m wrapping up PA International Bootcamp Weekend! But prior to my arrival, I was busy preparing 10 “My First Period Kits” that will be making their way to Philly to support the youth group of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. It’s always a pleasure to support and empower young women and their menstrual health journey. 🌸💜 Mrs. Pennsylvania International 2024 ~ Tamara Abney the “Period Hero” ~A Wife, Mommy of 2, and an unwavering advocate for menstrual equity, proudly leading SisterFriend, Inc. and creating a world where students can embrace their changing bodies with confidence and pride without barriers. #PAIntlpageant #Pageantsinpa #mrsinternational #mrsintl2024 #intlpageant #beautyqueen #pageantlife #pageantry #mrspageant #mrspageantry #mrspageants #rolemodel #sisterfriend #periodpoverty #menstrualequity #tamaraabney #abneyfamily #PeriodPosseBook #PeriodActionDay #MenstrualEquity #GlobalChange #PeriodPoverty #SisterFriend #MakeADifference #periodpartychallenge

In Pennsylvania, our Governor and First Lady are working hard to ensure that our students have access to free menstrual products in our schools. Let’s support their efforts by contacting our local state officials and asking that they pass this historic $3 million dollar proposal. Our girls deserve this 🤩. I’m happy to lend my voice of support to this effort. 🌸💜 Mrs. Pennsylvania International 2024 ~ Tamara Abney the “Period Hero” ~A Wife, Mommy of 2, and an unwavering advocate for menstrual equity, proudly leading SisterFriend, Inc. and creating a world where students can embrace their changing bodies with confidence and pride without barriers. #PAIntlpageant #Pageantsinpa #mrsinternational #mrsintl2024 #intlpageant #beautyqueen #pageantlife #pageantry #mrspageant #mrspageantry #mrspageants #rolemodel #sisterfriend #periodpoverty #menstrualequity #tamaraabney #abneyfamily #PeriodPosseBook #PeriodActionDay #MenstrualEquity #GlobalChange #PeriodPoverty #SisterFriend #MakeADifference #periodpartychallenge
