Us and Our Mission

As a member of Gen-Z, I have always felt that the world that we live in is changing too slowly for the progress of our generation. That feeling of helplessness ends now. 

 

Give Me Your Hand is my family's and my way of making a change. Billions of people menstruate globally, and they have been conveniently sidelined throughout modern history. This venture attempts to ease the burden of financially struggling people who menstruate, while empowering and beautifying the people who want to make a positive change.

My sister named this "Give Me Your Hand" to exemplify its two different purposes. One, is to join our fellow menstruaters in solidarity and support, symbolically joining hands with them. The second purpose is to make the body or limb of a patron into something beautiful. "Give me your hand," is a phrase I commonly use before starting a mehndi design.
