Herstory is a non- profit organization focused on raising awareness on women’s health issues.
We use platforms such aspodcastingandInstagramto bring about more awareness, while also doing outreach projects to serve the greater women community.
After months of episodes and posts, Herstory led a project that focused on creating awareness of period poverty. We gave a seminar on the importance of women’s health and distributed feminine hygiene products to schoolgirls in rural Tamil Nadu, India. Most of these girls rarely had the means to afford pads or other feminine hygiene products. In fact, none of them had heard of or used deodorant. This project was life changing for both them and us.

Randi Ebron-Frails
Project Manager
Randi Ebron-Frails has always been very interested in medicine. Still, as she has continued to learn and research in the field, she has found a more profound interest in the importance of medicinal history and how it still affects patients today. A topic that has picked her brain is the issue of black maternal mortality and the lack of knowledge and research that allows the rate of death to rise. Randi promises to expand and broaden her horizons to help more women and girls. She is very excited to work with a fantastic group of women who plan on bringing much-needed attention, facts, and history to these dire issues
