AboutU was started several years ago by Peace Region resident Victoria Champion.
In the beginning, she launched AboutU as a blog and social media presence, with ideas for the business side starting to grow.
“AboutU. began as a thing in the back of mind that came with the struggles of being a woman. It started with things that happened like being quite poor and not being able to afford birth control or tampons. It started the first time my son asked me about sex. It started with the time parents of a youth I was working with didn’t know how to talk about periods. The moment where I knew that I needed to do something was when I was talking to a dear friend and how access to feminine supplies is so scarce for our homeless population. That was it. That moment, that heartbreaking moment where I knew I needed to “Be The Change.” (Ghandi)”
Since that moment, AboutU has grown into something that can provide for that need, but also be a place to boost self care with wellness kits, workshops, and events.
Champion joined the River Country & KIX FM morning shows to discuss what AboutU is all about, and to talk about our partnership for the Peace River Trade Show!
Stop by the Peace River & District Trade Show at the Baytex Energy Centre from 4-9 on Friday, April 8th & 10-5 on Saturday, April 9th to enter the draw below!
