Hello
I am Dr. Elesia Glover, the President and Founder Posh Pack Inc. I am also the author of "Oh No! It's Happening! It's Here!" a first period story of two 6th grade girls. I believe period supplies are school supplies and every girl deserves the dignity of feminine hygiene essentials, especially in school environments.

DR. ELESIA GLOVER
Dr. Elesia Glover spent much of 2018 thinking about "period poverty" and the lack of access for socioeconomically challenged parents who couldn't provide feminine hygiene products for their daughters. She thought about all the girls who stayed home from school because they didn't have access to what they needed. She thought about how challenging it must be to sit in calculus or chemistry when you have already received your one tampon from the nurse and you know you have no more.
Dr. Glover took a leap of faith and committed 100% to Posh Pack! She is more determined than ever to be a light within this issue and bring awareness to it. With a doctorate in public policy and administration, Dr. Glover continues to take a multifaceted approach focused on collecting and donating Posh Packs to schools, but also working with elected officials to encourage budgetary line items to cover menstrual products in schools and to end sales tax on feminine hygiene products.
Dr. Glover is originally from North Carolina where she received her Bachelors and Masters degree before moving to Washington, DC and Atlanta, GA. Dr. Glover now resides in Charlotte, NC with her husband and two children. She lives by the quote, "She believed she could so she did" by R.S. Grey.

New classes. New friendships. Cheerleading tryouts. And then… it happens.
When Bailey gets her first period, she’s filled with questions, nerves, and self-doubt. Thankfully, her best friend Emily—already familiar with what she jokingly calls “the red curse”—is right by her side. Together, the girls navigate the ups and downs of middle school while learning that getting your period isn’t something to fear or hide—it’s a powerful milestone worth celebrating.
Oh No! It’s Happening! It’s Here! is a warm, relatable middle grade chapter book that helps girls understand menstruation, emotions, and growing up with honesty and heart.
