The Greatest Story Never Told
Women’s hormone cycles are not just a cyclical pain; they are our integral link to all the other cycles in life. Our cycles are so much more than hormones “raging” through our bodies.

Leslie Carol Botha: Until we can have open dialogue about menstruation – we will always be victims of our own bodies. We speak about reproductive health – but we never discuss menstrual health – and in doing so we perpetrate the shame dialogue.
Leslie Carol Botha: How sad that a fake industry has taken away women’s sense of beauty.
