Why the name?

Hi! I'm Jessica.  

I first got interested in periods when my aunt panicked about explaining periods to my cousin and asked me for help.

As I was drawing diagrams and talking about my first period, I was hit by flashbacks of embarrassing accidents in middle school and unresolved confusion when I was a teenage girl. It occurred to me that girls should not feel ashamed, scared, and confused about a natural phenomenon of our bodies.  

I founded Monara because I want to support all girls of my cousin's age to understand, appreciate, and prepare for their entrance into womanhood. It should be a beautiful experience.
