FLOW - For the Love of Women

11/01/2025

✨️It was such a great and cold night. I set up a FLOW table outside my house during Trick or Treat and distributed 35 packs of menstrual pads to the young ladies in our community. Some where shy, but very appreciative. The moms were pleasantly surprised and so grateful. Meanwhile, Charles Jennings was the candy man passing out treats.🍬🎃

Menstrual equity is everyday work. We will continue to show up, continue to give, and continue to support with dignity.

If you would like to support our mission, please consider donating to FLOW - For the Love of Women. We are in need of unscented Pads, Tampons, Liners, and Wipes.

🌍💧 Global Handwashing Day 🌎💧

Clean hands are vital for good health including menstrual health hygiene. Washing hands before and after changing products helps prevent infection and protect dignity.

But we also recognize that even here in the U.S., many families lack access to clean, running water.
Today, we raise awareness and stand in solidarity with all communities near and far working toward health, hygiene, and dignity for everyone.

Thank you to our friends at The Lizzy Anche Foundation for there continued efforts to educate and empower communities on the importance of proper hygiene and sanitation. Together, we're building healthier futures for children and families around the world. 🌸

In many homes, soap and clean water are still luxuries.
But every mother knows when hands are clean, her child is safer.

Handwashing isn’t a small act.
It’s a first line of defense against infections that steal lives quietly.

For women and girls who handle food, care for siblings, or manage their periods without running water, hygiene is more than a habit — it’s survival.

This , let’s make hygiene a right, not a privilege.
Because clean hands shouldn’t depend on where you were born.

🌍✨ International Day of the Girl ✨🌍

Theme: “The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead: Girls on the Frontlines of Crisis"

Quote: “Every girl everywhere deserves equality, opportunity, and dignity.”

Today, we celebrate and honor girls everywhere — their voices, their strength, and their power to create change.

At FLOW - For the Love of Women believe every girl deserves the opportunity to thrive with confidence, dignity, and access to the essentials that empower her journey.

Let's continue to uplift our girls and reminding them that they matter, they are seen, and they are the change this world needs.

I would like to recognize some amazing organizations locally and globally who are dedicated to uplifting, educating, inspiring and leading with purpose.
