Poverty infringes on personal autonomy in a myriad of ways. Having grown up homeless and largely dependent on the resources of social equity NGO’s, Treasure Brooks took issue with the limited menstrual products offered to people in need. In her talk “Blood Bound,” Brooks will reflect on her early work as a menstruation activist and creator of “Operation T.O.M.,” a grassroots organization designed to disseminate high quality menstruation products to houseless gender marginalized people.
