The movie ‘Time of the Month’, in which she starred and also sang, will be hitting the scenes in a couple of days. It is centred around mental health.
Yemi’s song “Your Role Model’s SUPERWOMAN” celebrates women’s strength and encourages them to stand upright and stop being shy about their menstrual periods.
The movie also featured actors and actresses like Femi Branch, Liquorose, Mike Ezuruonye, and many more.
The campaign combines music, film, and advocacy to break the silence surrounding menstrual health and hygiene (MHH).
Population Services International (PSI) Nigeria, in collaboration with Afrobeats superstar Yemi Alade and a host of Nollywood stars, launched the powerful short film and a new music single to raise awareness and drive change.

She shared the post on her official Instagram page.
