Period Positivity

Chella Quint is the NYC-born, Sheffield, UK-based menstrual activist who originally coined the term 'period positive' in 2006 and went on to found the period positvity movement. An artist, author, designer, and qualified teacher, she's passionate about the ways period positivity can help people challenge period taboos, improve menstrual wellbeing and end period poverty. She is the creator and performer of 5-star comedy show and zine “Adventures in Menstruating” and has since become a leading expert on menstrual education in the UK and abroad, advising on regional and national policy. Chella researched and piloted the successful Period Positive Charter Mark Award in 2017. In 2019, she launched the Period Positive Pledge as a framework for organizations developing inclusive education, policy and outreach, and an Early Day Motion calling for the government to take up the pledge was submitted to UK Parliament by MPs later that year. Her book, Be Period Positive, is out in July 2021.
