May 4th, 11-5pm I'll be set up for free photos! Come check out this awesome event! Youth and all ages welcome!

Join us on May 4, 2024, any time from 11 am to 5 pm for Kókómmíkísóm – a dazzling event hosted by the Urban Society for Aboriginal Youth (USAY)! Kókómmíkísóm, which means “Night Light” in Blackfoot, is all about rallying together to combat period poverty and revel in our community spirit. It’s a vibrant space where menstruating bodies can unite, learn, and uplift each other.

At USAY, we're committed to empowering Indigenous youth. That's why Kókómmíkísóm isn’t just about providing sustainable period products – it’s a fusion of education, empowerment, and jubilation.

Expect:
- Personalized Moontime Bags filled with period essentials to keep you prepared and empowered.
- Creative Beading Kits to design your own dazzling jewelry and accessories.
- Custom Smudge Kits for harnessing the ancient art of cleansing and positive energy.
- Fabulous Hair Braiding Stations to get your locks styled in trendy braids.
