OUR MISSION
Pineapples Color Pink empowers young women ages 11-18 to lead the fight against period poverty through five core pillars: STEM initiatives that build scientific literacy, Reproductive Health Advocacy that amplifies youth voices, Community Transparency that breaks stigmas, Research Innovation that advances understanding, and Reproductive Justice Policy that creates systemic change.
OUR VISION
We envision a world where young women are the driving force behind reproductive health equity;where period poverty no longer exists because the generation experiencing it has the power, knowledge, and platform to eliminate it. We see a future where every young woman is scientifically literate, advocacy-ready, and equipped to create the systemic change their communities need, ensuring that menstruation never again becomes a barrier to education, opportunity, or dignity.

OUR STORY
Pineapples Color Pink ( est. 2019) was born from a profound realization while presenting research on reproductive health disparties. While sharing scientific findings on toxins and reproctive health disparities at conferences across the country, she encountered story after story from women who felt unsupported, unheard, and underserved by existing healthcare systems.
But it was the young women; the students missing school, the teenagers using unsafe alternatives, the bright minds whose potential was being limited by something as natural as menstruation—whose stories demanded action beyond research papers and academic presentations.
Aly realized that while her laboratory work was advancing my understanding of reproductive health disparities, the young women experiencing these challenges daily had no seat at the table where solutions were being designed. They were subjects of research, not partners in change. They were beneficiaries of programs, not leaders of movements.
This disconnect sparked a revolutionary idea: What if we didn't just study period poverty; what if we empowered those experiencing it to end it? What if young women weren't just recipients of solutions but the architects of them?
From this vision, Pineapples Color Pink emerged not as another organization providing services to young women but as a platform transforming young women into the scientists, advocates, and leaders their communities need. We bridge the gap between research and reality by ensuring that those most affected by period poverty are leading the charge to eliminate it.
Our foundation represents a fundamental shift: from studying problems to empowering solutions, providing services to building leaders, treating symptoms, and creating systemic change; all led by the incredible young women who refuse to let period poverty define their futures.
