• Anisha Mahenthiran is a 3rd-year Psychobiology major at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). She is passionate about social equity and currently volunteers for several nonprofits such as School on Wheels, Reading Partners, and Matriculate. Through these organizations, she has been able to guide and support impoverished and low-income students through their schooling and build valuable relationships. Inspired by her work with the leaders of these organizations, Anisha wanted to become a leader within Periods with Pride because of its mission to de-stigmatize menstruation and educate local communities on how to consistently address period poverty.  She believes that with diligent community outreach and engagement the comfort and ambitions of all menstruators can be enhanced.
