How Breaking Up With My Boyfriend Showed Me I'm Stronger Than I Thought
It's fairly common for us to ask our friends and family to describe us in as few words as possible. I had many school assignments that asked me to ask friends and family to describe me in a sentence. Ten to fifteen words, max.

The New Appendix
“It’s in my head.” I repeated over and over after a sedative was administered to me. It was to calm my nerves before giving birth to my son. However, the sedative did not calm me, it terrified me more than the birthing experience itself. It felt like my brain was dying while the rest of my body was still very much alive if I were to describe it. I have had attacks like these before after a night of heavy drinking, in which people around me including medical professionals would tell me I was just having ‘anxiety’, but when I would compare my anxiety attacks to others, our notes were not the same. For example, I could breathe just fine, but my head was telling me that something was amiss and that I was dying even though I never did in those moments. That one scary incident with the sedative happened in 2012.

I've Dated A Few Custodians
What do I mean when I say Janitor/What does the janitor represent? The janitorial occupation is more or less a mindset than a position.

My mother could see I was smart and understood everything that was going on around me. In school, I had a lot

WHO statement on menstrual health and rights
Menstrual Health is firmly on the global agenda today. Menstrual Health was not on the agenda of the International Conference on the Population and Development or the Millennium Declaration. Nor it is explicitly stated in the Sustainable Development Goals targets for goals 3 (health), 5 (gender equality) or 6 (water and sanitation). However, it has been placed on the global health, education, human rights, and gender equality/equity agendas by grass-roots workers and activists from the global South, drawing attention to reports of women’s and girls’ experiences of shame and embarrassment, and the barriers they face in managing their period because they do not have the means to do so, with consequences for their life opportunities including their rights to education, work, water and sanitation, non-discrimination and gender equality – and ultimately to health.
