I’m Piper Clark-White, a Ylab student at One Stone who has a huge passion for acting. During these past 10 weeks, I was able to participate in an ad for Saalt for their new teen menstrual cups. I spent around four hours practicing and filming my part with fellow One Stone students, and it was an absolutely incredible experience. We were all having so much fun, it was very relaxed, and we had a lot of laughs and meaningful discussions both on and off camera. I incorporated my why statement throughout this experience which is, “to create so that myself and others feel a connection to what makes us human.” I used my passion for acting to be part of a creation that helps others feel more confident and less stressed during their period. As someone who has been wanting to start a career in acting, no matter how small, this was practically a dream come true. To me, doing good is when you step out of your comfort zone to help with something that is bigger than just yourself, and I definitely feel like this experience reflects that. I was able to help educate both myself and others on the topic of periods and menstrual cups, help out a local business and be a part of their movement of doing good for both the environment and period-havers. This ad reflects how I want to do good in the world, by following my passions to help others in whatever way I can and through combining my love of acting by helping Saalt and their end users. This made me want to find other ways on how I can use my passions, like acting as well as writing, to do even more good. I hope my work and passion inspires others to do good by stepping out of their comfort zone and following their own passions to be a part of something that helps others.
