In this episode of Audacious Black Girl, I sit down with Dejanae Parkman, founder of Dotted, a wellness-first period care brand created for women with heavy cycles. Dejanae shares her powerful journey navigating endometriosis, PCOS, and fibroids, and how her lived experience pushed her to question the safety of mainstream period products. What she discovered about toxins, endocrine disruptors, and misleading “organic” marketing led her to create Dotted—an innovative, Black woman-owned brand centering wellness, safety, and dignity in menstrual care. She truly exemplifies what it means to be an Audacious Black Girl!

Together, we unpack the silence around period health in Black girlhood, the ancestral and cultural messages we’ve carried about pain and privacy, and the ways these narratives have shaped how we care for our bodies. We also talk about shifting toward holistic, safer options that allow us to listen to and honor our bodies instead of ignoring or numbing our pain.

This one is for ALL the ladies but especially for those in their 30s, entering their 30s, or their 40s. I'm 39 and on the cusp of entering my 40s, and I've learned some things about self-love! My 30s have been my greatest teacher.

In this episode, I share six ways I practice self-love and talk about two (no matter what your age) key elements you can implement NOW to give you the foundation and sustenance you need as you define self-love on your terms.
