Notă biografică
Chella Quint OBE is an author, educator, researcher, performer and founder of the Period Positive movement. Born in Brooklyn, New York and based in Sheffield, she is a qualified teacher and former head of PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education). Chella coined the phrase “period positive” in 2006 and has spent over two decades helping young people and adults find creative ways to learn about menstruation and talk about it more openly.
She helps schools, families, communities, policymakers and health professionals to make menstruation education clearer, more practical and more inclusive. Chella’s work brings together teaching, research, science communication, performance, art and design and looks at literacy across the menstrual span, from first periods to last periods.
As well as her teaching certification, Chella holds a BFA in dramatic writing, a master’s degree in Education and a PhD in Art and Design. Adventures in Menstruating, her popular touring comedy show, grew out of her master’s research and wove together the experiences and ideas of pupils and teachers with the history of menstrual product advertising. She is also the author of a book about periods for adults, Be Period Positive, and was a script advisor for and appeared in the International Emmy-nominated CBBC Newsround Special Let’s Talk About Periods. In the 2024 King’s Birthday Honours, she was appointed an OBE for services to education.
