Period Power Stories uses true storytelling to explore the ultimate “TMI” topic: menstruation.
Each episode features a true story from the youth activists from Period Power! Club, originally performed live in a showcase following a 10 week TMI Project true storytelling workshop.
Guests include TMI Project true storytelling workshop leaders, healthcare professionals, and a special appearance by New York State Senator Michelle Hinchey, who authored a successful bill to require menstrual products to be offered for free in college restrooms.

Since 2010, TMI Project has led nearly 150 true storytelling workshops and staged live storytelling performances by over 3,000 storytellers, which have been presented to audiences of nearly 250,000. In the past, you had to wait on line to get seated in an off-broadway theater, a cafeteria in a detention center, or perhaps you were coming to hear activists perform their stories at the United Nations. Now, you can listen from anywhere in the world. Tune in and join us. While you listen, don’t forget to ask yourself, “What is my TMI story?” We all have one.
TMI Project programming is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
