A Period Piece

This video features Zeinabu irene Davis and Quinta Seward performing a comic rap in an old-school style. They critique the misleading promises made by feminine hygiene product ads, using humor to highlight the often-embarrassing scenarios that women face. The piece delivers a feminist message that true confidence comes from within rather than from marketed products.

The work’s comedic approach to a serious topic makes it relevant for discussions on feminism and advertising. The rap’s catchy refrain reinforces the idea that self-assurance is not tied to consumerism. Collectors of feminist media or innovative video works from the early 90s might find this piece particularly interesting, as it combines humor with social commentary in a memorable format.
