Does the way a woman talks about her body determine how she will engage with the world? Naama Bloom, founder of Hello Flo, has been opening up the conversation for young women about their bodies and their health through humor and straight answers. Her book, Hello Flo: The Guide, Period. empowers young women to ask questions, make good choices, change the conversation and change their lives.
In this bold, savvy, and feminist new take on a body book, Bloom hopes to remove the stigma attached to puberty. When her women’s health site – HelloFlo.com – launched in 2015, they did just that, with two groundbreaking videos that went viral: “First Moon Party” (41+ million YouTube views) and “Camp Gyno” (12+ million YouTube views). Her new book is equally frank. HELLOFLO: THE GUIDE, PERIOD makes health and wellness as easy as possible for young girls to understand, helping them navigate everything from body changes to emotional well-being. Naama Bloom will discuss her new book, as well as these relevant topics: ADVOCACY FOR WOMEN’S HEALTH Studies show that doctors have a tendency not to take a woman’s pain seriously, undertreat them when they do mention symptoms, and take a longer period of time to actually give them medication. Couple that with a young woman’s age, and it’s no wonder that so many young women and girls not only don’t get the help they need, but grow up thinking that they don’t deserve it in the first place. http://msmagazine.com/blog/ 2017/10/09/must-help-girls- young-women-advocate-health/ BIRTH CONTROL MANDATE The Trump administration’s recent rollback of the Obamacare birth control mandate hit women hard, and not just for those using the pill for family planning. It’s also prescribed for a variety of medical conditions, including endometriosis, irregular periods, chronic acne, and hormonal imbalances that affect countless women and teens. http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/06/ health/women-react-trump- birth-control-mandate-bn/ index.html HUMAN RIGHTS In developing countries, many girls grow up in communities where menstruation is shrouded in shame and stigma, misinformation is rampant, and clean menstrual supplies are scarce. Girls and women miss classes, drop out of school, and fail to reach their full potential because of menstruation. Over the past few years, a “menstruation movement” has swept the U.S., aiming to destigmatize periods and bring safer products to women and girls everywhere. http://www.newsweek.com/2017/ 07/21/men-fighting- menstruation-shaming- developing-world-634902.html GENDER TABOOS A Nepali “menstruation hut” ritual claimed the life of a teenage girl in July after she was bitten by a snake while banished to a cowshed during a menstruation ritual. The 19-year-old victim was taking part in chhaupadi, a common practice in the west of Nepal in which women, considered unclean during menstruation, are sequestered for the extent of their periods. Chhaupadi dates back centuries and has its roots in Hindu taboos over menstruation. Outlawed by Nepal’s Supreme Court in 2005, the practice continues amid claims the country is turning a blind eye to the deaths of women and girls. http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/10/ asia/nepal-menstruation-hut- deaths-outrage/index.html http://helloflo.com/

Naama Bloom is best know as the founder of HelloFlo, the mail-order feminine product platform that shot to viral fame with its hilarious videos like 'Camp Gyno,' 'First Moon Party,' and 'A Vistit from Aunt Flo.' On one hand, we should all be so grateful that Bloom and her startup got us talking, laughing, learning and sharing about our bodies in a healthy way. On the other? It was 2014, and shouldn't we be beyond all that? But we weren't, and Bloom helped us get there, and forever she'll be immortalized as an women's activist. The new classic book on puberty for girls She is also an activist on behalf of girls, with her new book HelloFlo: The Guide, Period.: The Everything Puberty Book for the Modern Girl (Penguin, October 17, 2017). As you will hear in this episode, it won me over with its first lines, devoted to the fact that every woman, every day, will have crust in her panties. I have spent my whole life — all of which was seeped in feminism — feeling a little bit or a lot weird, ashamed and gross for this reality. This doesn't need to happen any more! The book also covers: the history of the styles of pubic hair, breast size and shape and eyebrows. Lots of anecdotes from women who share how they feel about their bodies and puberty. It is smart, frank and real in a way no other book for girls — or women for that matter — is. "Full bush," is the name of a chapter. Don't tell her, but I ordered a copy for my daughter for Christmas, and I think you should, too. The new classic, coming right to you.
[itvt] is pleased to present video of the TVOT NYC 2016 session, "The Rise of Branded Content and Influencer Marketing." The session was described in the show brochure as follows:"It's no secret that branded content and influencer marketing are playing an increasingly important role in the social-video economy--and the past year has also seen several established television players--including, among others, Turner, A+E and 'Saturday Night Live'--announce major branded-content initiatives. This session will bring together representatives of several companies at the forefront of branded content and influencer marketing, in order to identify the most important things that agencies, brands, creators and other interested parties need to know about this emerging space. Topics to be addressed include: What are the pros and cons of the various social-video platforms--and the various genres of social-video programming--for influencer marketing and branded content? What regulatory pitfalls does this new industry face? How exactly does a piece of branded video programming 'go viral'? How to determine which influencer's public personality and audience demographics will prove most effective for marketing a specific brand? And how to ensure that branded content and influencer marketing--which are frequently targeted at sophisticated digital-native audiences--are engaging and entertaining, and not perceived by their targets simply as thinly disguised advertising?" Panelists included:Naama Bloom, SVP of Integrated Marketing, SheKnows MediaPaul Furia, EVP of Creative Solutions, Studio71Jon Giegengack, Principal, Hub Research (Moderator)Jason Krebs, Head of Sales, Maker StudiosKaty Tyson, Director of Audience Development, CasperEd Wise, Chief Revenue Officer, Mashable
