2023 Candid Conversation with EPCP DST
For the second year, Georgia STOMP participated in the East Point College Park Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.’s “All White” Party – A Virtual Event to End Period Poverty. Hosted by the chapter’s Social Action and Physical and Mental Health Committees, this event brought together members of Albany, Augusta, Douglas-Carroll-Paulding, Savannah and Waycross alumnae chapters.
Georgia STOMP was pleased to host a Candid Conversation as part of the event with 240 women from across the state engaging in an honest conversation about their menstruating experiences across their lifespans.
Participants were invited to donate to Georgia STOMP member organizations located near the various chapters. Click each name to view the organization’s donation link.

“It was a pleasure to collaborate once again with the East Point/College Park alumnae chapter to host a second year of Candid Conversation,” said cohost and Georgia STOMP Membership Chair Dominique Holloman. “It was exciting to have a statewide conversation with five alumnae chapters supporting the event and over 240 women attending. We are proud to increase advocacy for period poverty and menstrual equity in such an inviting way.”
Candid Conversations are one of the tools Georgia STOMP uses to encourage menstruators to speak with each other about their lived experiences with menstruation in a safe, lighthearted setting. The Candid Conversation model was developed by Dominique and Dr. Heather Scott for the Junior League of Douglas County while Dominique was President of that organization. Georgia STOMP Vice Chair Adele Stewart was a presenter in the inaugural Junior League Candid Conversation and the three of them together realized this was a great model for Georgia STOMP to use as the centerpiece of its education focus.
