About Us
SBlueCreations is a newly established small business that is based in Southaven, Mississippi. Sharlecia Blue (the owner), is the seamstress that makes all of the cloth pads and accessories by hand.
Sharlecia Blue (Blue is her preferred name) is a recent graduate from the University of Memphis where she obtained her master's degree in Medical Anthropology. This program allowed her to study the structural barriers that impact the reproductive health of (mainly) African American women, and to evaluate solutions to approach these barriers.
Anthropology is a discipline that explores why humans behave the way that they do. This is often done by evaluating social and cultural norms that have been passed down from generation to generation. Unfortunately, some of these norms have labeled the menstrual cycle as something to be ashamed of, or something that is disgusting. At SBlueCreations we encourage people to be as informed as they can about their periods, and to challenge the notion that periods are inherently taboo. As this business continues to grow, we will strive to reverse these norms thorough education, unashamed expression, and fun social media videos.
Thank You,
Blue
