“I AM the COO of Human Life” a message of pride and responsibility to our humanity.

The Faces of Women’s Health is a tribute cry for the world and people to be knowledgeable and respectful of women’s health by understanding that our bodies and our health is diverse, intricate, delicate, strong, vulnerable, and important to be protected.

This initiative is about advocating and messaging for access, freedom, support, and education while reminding the public, politicians and the health community that women are the Chief Operating Officers of their bodies and the COO’s of human life. Respect and caring for our bodies and our minds is essential.

Faces of Women’s Health is a landscape of content and open dialogue through articles, video, and podcast, open to women of all ages, where women can feel comfortable and supported to learn, discuss, and share knowledge

I couldn’t go to a pediatrician and the sensitivity level of male doctors at that time towards a 9, 10 or 11 year-old having her period was non-existent. I think it would be 2 years before I saw a female gynecologist who had a level of interest and reassuring concern about my female health. It was this doctor that took the stigma away while offering compassion and information. It was at the age of 14 that I discovered the community of Planned Parenthood and was introduced to the book Our Bodies Ourselves. With this support, I was educated to my body and began to realize that my female health was part of my overall wellness.

It was less than a year after this picture that I would start my cycle at the age of nine. I doubt that my mom or dad expected to be having this conversation but, they were both troopers. My mother explained biologically what was happening without being detailed about sex. I was introduced to the purple box of Kotex. Then the boxed were on shelves but, wrapped in brown craft paper. This was a clear sign that a period was not something you talked about openly. It became my secret filled with embarrassing accidents, doctor’s appointments, and many questions. I say secret, because at 9 years old who do you talk to about having your period?
