## Caption

In the East school bathroom stall with four of her closest friends, then 14 year-old Micheala Miller was overwhelmed. Tampons, panty liners and pads were being waved in her face as her friends kept talking over each other — it was her first period.

With the nearly non-existent period and sex education at East, she had to take her peer’s advice on the sensitive situation despite their lack of prior knowledge.

Now-East alumni Miller owns and runs Strawberry Week — a non-profit organization aiming to end period poverty and break the stigma surrounding periods by normalizing periods and making products accessible to everyone. Strawberry Week works with businesses around Kansas City to collect and distribute period products to everyone in need. Miller aims to prevent today's teens from experiencing period horror stories like her own.
