For every woman who has ever bled in silence, hidden in shame, or apologized for her cycle-this book is your homecoming.
In a world that taught you to hide your period, dispose of your blood like waste, and treat your womb like a problem to manage, SHED: The Sacred Blood invites you to remember a different truth:
Your menstruation is holy.
Your cycle is ceremony.
Your blood is wisdom.
