For over a decade, Author and Activist, Shelly-Ann Weeks has built a reputation as a solid voice for Female Reproductive Health issues and this is continues to be evident in her newest published work – It’s My Body. Period.

“I felt compelled to write this book just because I observed that girls are not getting enough guidance about their periods beyond a stern warning not to get pregnant.” Shelly-Ann explains. “This is the book I wished I had when I started menstruating at age 11.”

As a part of the promotion for the book, Weeks will be executing a school through her HerFlow Foundation. She will also be donating books to the school libraries.
