A Call from Home

My roots begin in Jamaica. Both of my maternal grandparents were born there. It’s where my mother has lived, and it’s where I’ve returned again and again to breathe, rest, study the land, and feel the brilliance of the people who raised me. Every visit reminds me that the Genius I now pour into TSG didn’t start with me — it was inherited.

When Hurricane Melissa devastated the island, it didn’t feel like distant news.

It felt like family.

It felt like a call.

The same genetic resilience that built this company is the same resilience the youth of Jamaica are summoning right now — often without the resources they deserve.

And to bring this full circle: during my very first TSG session, my Grandma Vie sat right beside me. On her birthday. Affirming my Genius and cheering on the work she lived long enough to witness. That moment is the spine of TSG’s Caribbean Girls Care Initiative.

Why Period Kits? Why This? Why Now?

When a disaster hits, the world rushes to send food, money, and clothing — and thank God for that. But there’s a need that consistently goes overlooked:

Girls who have lost everything still have periods!

And the lack of basic menstrual supplies is forcing thousands of students to miss school at a time when they need stability the most.

At TSG, we are relentless about removing barriers between students and their brilliance.

A period should never be the reason a girl can’t show up to learn, focus, or step into her Genius.

This initiative targets the exact gap that gets ignored. We are centering hygiene essentials because educational equity depends on them.

What We’re Doing — And the Scale of It

We are assembling 1,000 three-month period kits for girls living in the most under-resourced areas of Jamaica.

Each kit includes:

• Pads
• Liners
• Wipes
• A message of affirmation grounded in dignity and care

The Math

Each menstrual cycle can last up to 7 days, and girls typically change pads 3–5 times a day.

Per cycle, a student needs approximately:

🩸 21–35 pads

For three cycles, each kit requires:

🩸 63–105 pads

For 1,000 girls, we need:

🩸63,000–105,000 pads total

This is why your contribution matters — every single item counts.

How We’re Doing It

Once all contributions and supplies are collected:

1. TSG students and coaches will come together to assemble the kits — a moment of service, leadership, and cultural connection.
2. Kits will be shipped to 20 schools across Jamaica’s countryside.
3. School leaders will distribute them directly to the girls who need them most — those rebuilding their routines, their confidence, and their sense of normalcy after unimaginable disruption.

This is about more than hygiene.

It’s about dignity.

It’s about stability.

It’s about keeping students connected to their futures.

And it is deeply personal.
