Bust the Stigma
Bust the Stigma
Women’s bodies, needs, and lived experiences shouldn’t be censored.
Let's Bust the Stigma Together
Mayana's Bust the Stigma movement promotes women's health, body literacy, and collective care through handcrafted, health-conscious undergarments, community events, and advocacy.
Let's challenge the harmful norms that silence women’s experiences, celebrate the realities of our bodies, and destigmatize women's experiences.
