No One Talked To Me About Periods: Beata Mbula Is Ending Period Poverty | Taji la Dada

No one talked to her about periods - until high school. Beata Mbula, founder of Reasons to Smile CBO, grew up without vital information about her own body. As a daughter of a teenage mom, the conversation about menstrual health never happened at home. Her father tried, but it was barely enough. That silence is what now drives her. In this episode of Taji la Dada, Beata shares how her personal struggle fuels her fight to end Gender-Based Violence and period poverty in her community and beyond. She is bringing the conversations she never had to teens and pre-teens who need it most. From lack to leadership, from shame to a smile. A conversation every parent, girl, and community leader needs to hear. Hosted by Jasmine Atieno. A SemaBOX Africa production in collaboration with Baraza Media Lab Mombasa. #TajiLaDada #BeataMbula #periodpoverty #menstrualhealth #endgbv #ReasonsToSmileCBO #mombasakenya #srhr #TeenMoms #SemaBOXAfrica #BarazaMediaLab #JasmineAtieno #EndPeriodShame
