Hello storytelling friends!
Just a week away!
“Red Talks” presented by Speak Up and Confessions of a Menstruator
October 8 at 7:00 PM at the Connecticut Historical Society.
Confessions of a Menstruator and Speak Up are proud to present the first-ever “Red Talks,” a storytelling show featuring honest, heartfelt, and even hilarious stories about periods and everything they involve.
By sharing our stories, we destigmatize menstruation and normalize the conversation. This event is the national kickoff for “Red Talks,” a celebration of menstruators’ shared experiences. Life’s most natural cycle has made us laugh, cry and eat a lot of cupcakes.
Everyone, join us on October 8 to hear stories of women, men, and all those who love them.
$20 per person. Light refreshments will be provided. Click here to buy your tickets!
