Aisha Quashie was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgk

Aisha Quashie was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2019. She shares with us about how she talked to her kids about cancer, and resources that have helped her family.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“My immediate reaction was what if I die? What are they going to do? They’re going to be without a mom.” ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Aisha did her best to prepare her family for what lay ahead by providing as much information as she possibly could, even though it was an incredibly difficult conversation. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“I explained that I might look different, and that I might not have as much energy. Be as honest as you can, in a kid-friendly way.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Wanting to help other mothers, Aisha has also shared parts of her cancer journey in @lgfbcanada ‘s digital magazine.⁠⁠

Hi everyone. I'm Anna Wiesen and I’m co-founder

Hi everyone. I'm Anna Wiesen and I’m co-founder and creative director for @somewherelse, a Toronto-based creative and artist management studio. We’re a new kind of hybrid studio that transcends genre, blurs mediums, and creates temporal worlds.

Today I'm taking over the She Does The City Instagram to share a little bit about our creative process and give a sneak peek as we prepare for our first IRL event since COVID - an album launch for our artist @im_jamesbaley, taking place tomorrow at @thegreathallto.

Follow along in today’s stories to catch some behind-the-scenes content from James, and our other artists @alliex, @dwayne_gretzky, and @wearethe99s and learn how our studio creates, produces, and designs immersive experiences.

🥁Drumroll 🥁
Diva International, makers of the @thedivacup recently announced they’ve implemented a companywide Paid Menstrual Leave policy which provides menstruating employees one menstrual leave day per month (12 paid days per calendar year). We’re so happy people are finally realizing periods are not a fun time and can actually be debilitating for some. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠🩸
Paid Menstrual Leave, however, isn’t just for people experiencing unbearable pain, but for any menstruator who wants time to rest and care for themselves. “We don’t need a doctor’s note, or for people to justify a certain level of pain to take the day. If you need it, you can take it,” says Carinne Chambers-Saini @carinnedivacup , Diva’s Founder & CEO. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It’s time to destigmatize periods & increase awareness around menstrual issues such as uterine fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome, dysmenorrhea, & endometriosis, and this is exactly @divaintinc ‘s mission. Should more workplaces follow suit? Let’s chat in the comments. ⁠⁠
