Raising $450 to launch a nonprofit rooted in menstrual equity, youth support, and joyful justice.

I founded the Joy is Justice Project because I know what it means to grow up without stable housing, without mental health support, and without access to basic care. As a mother, full-spectrum doula, and community advocate, I’ve lived through instability and now I’m building a nonprofit to break those cycles for our youth.

At the heart of this work is the Period Positivity Circle, a free, joy-centered community event that provides affirming education, period products, clothing, and trauma-informed care to young menstruators and their families.

In addition to the Period Positivity Circle, we’re launching Brothers of Joy — a program created and led by my husband, Taylor. Brothers of Joy creates mentorship spaces for boys ages 8–14 that center body positivity, emotional expression, and joyful leadership. Through guided mentorship, group circles, and affirming activities, Brothers of Joy helps boys grow into emotionally healthy, confident, and compassionate leaders.

Our mission is simple: to nurture joy as a form of justice for underserved youth and families — especially BIPOC, low-income, and housing-insecure communities - through programs that center mental health advocacy, menstrual equity, and community healing.

We envision a world where joy is not rare, but woven into the everyday lives of youth who have historically been overlooked.

We are building community-rooted spaces where underserved youth are seen, supported, and celebrated through collective healing, community support, and radical love. A more just and joyful future is possible.

Right now, we’re raising $450 to cover the legal filing and registration fees to officially launch Joy is Justice Project as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Your donation will help us:

File for federal tax-exempt status
Register as a charitable organization in Washington State
Continue hosting the Period Positivity Circle in the Seattle-Tacoma area by gaining access to future funding

Every dollar gets us closer to making this movement sustainable — and making sure no young person feels ashamed of their body or goes without the care they deserve.

If you believe in youth joy, community healing, and collective care, we invite you to support this work.

Give what you can, share our story, and join the movement.
