Dani Brooks
Satisfy your period cravings while also raising awareness for period normalcy.
I’m Dani!
I’m the one and only baker over here at Period Pastries. I am a mom, wife, stand up comedian, a podcast host and producer, and a writer.... which means above all else, I identify as an "artist".
My promise to you is to always satisfy your period cravings while also raising awareness for period normalcy. Personally, I am privileged to have easy access to tampons, pads, menstrual cups, and even underwear that I can wear just for my period. The same can not be said for many women, girls, and non-binary people who get their period in the rest of the world and even right here in America where poverty and homelessness often lead to a lack of access to period support.
That is why Period Pastries is partnering with The Period Project with the help of the wonderful Lisa Leone at Volunteer Together. I am committed to donating a percentage of my proceeds to The Period Project which will directly donate pads to a school in India called Food for life Vrindavan FFLV. You can learn more about the school by visiting FFLV.org.
This means that with each craving your purchase, you will be helping those who identify as young girls and non-binary people in India with getting the period support they need, as well as protection from being sold into marriage and other horrific things. So you can feel good with every bite.
Once again thank you so much for all of your support and I look forward to helping you through your time of the month or whenever you’re in need of a tasty treat!
From my uterus to yours and the ones you love, Happy Bleeding!
