Most women dislike, even hate their periods but on my journey in understanding my cycle I discovered that society and media creates a stigma about something that should be natural and empowering to women. Being on the Board of the Red Web Foundation (http://www.theredweb.org/#) in California, I have discovered and read and seen many great books, video and art regarding menstruation.

I attended the 2010 Cycle World, International Motorcycle Show in Rosemont. While I was there, I noticed there was an area called Women's Center.
