On this episode we speak with  period artist and women's embodiment coach, Jasmine Alicia Carter. Jasmine takes us through her journey to reconnect to her menstrual cycle and how she uses her blood to create literal works of art.
 
*Please note there was an issue while recording and we lost the first half of Jasmine's interview. Time constraints did't permit a do-over so we decided to share a bit of how Jasmine got started from an interview she did with Superbeast in January of 2022. Link below for full interview. 

Growing up, she was disgusted by the sight of her period and really struggled, like some of us, to see it more than just a monthly mess. It wasn't until Jasmine had a transformative experience at plant ritual ceremony that she saw the truth. She realized how incredible this blood was and she felt inspired to use her medium of art to express the beauty of the menstrual cycle.

Creating beautiful depictions of mandalas and goddesses, Jasmine says her art has helped her transmute the pain of period she struggled with for years. She has dedicated herself to studying different cultures and religions for understanding of how they celebrated the menstrual cycle but says unfortunately there aren't many. Her passion is to continue to educate on the power of menstrual blood and its nutrient rich properties so she can help women heal this important relationship to themselves and do away with out dated concepts around  the cleanliness of our blood. Jasmine is the founder of The Menstrual Art Movement and the owner of Sacress, her boutique shops for menstrual cups. yoni eggs and wands.
