Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is more than a clinical diagnosis—it’s a window into how race, gender, and reproductive mental health intersect in deeply personal and systemic ways. This panel discussion explores how centering the experiences of women of color with PMDD can challenge biases in reproductive healthcare and reshape mental health care delivery. Through dialogue with thought leaders, healthcare advocates, persons with lived experience of PMDD, and community organizers, this event highlights the urgent need for culturally competent care and reframes PMDD as a powerful call to action.
The panel discussion will take place on Saturday, June 14 from 12:00pm – 1:30pm. Guests are invited to arrive early and stay late to connect with community partners and explore local resources.
This event is free to attend, and light refreshments will be offered. All attendees will receive free admission to the Cummings Center’s National Museum of Psychology and Institute galleries. Registration is required.
This event is presented in partnership with Akron Soul Train Gallery as an extension of the wider Unraveling the Cycle art exhibition, developed during Sharelle Mone't Thompson’s artist residency. The exhibition is on display from June 27 through July 19, 2025, at Akron Soul Train Gallery (91 S Main St, Akron, OH 44308). Together, the exhibition and this panel discussion aim to create visibility, foster understanding, and inspire systemic change in women’s health.
