Sexual & reproductive health educator
Your body deserves the full story. Say it out loud.
I'm Dr. K. Rahkel, an epidemiologist and public health expert who turns the conversations nobody had with us into clear, judgment-free education for women, girls, and the people who support them.

Real talk.
Real science.

“Because I do research for those that look like me, disproportionality stops here.”

Meet Dr. K
The science of the body, without the shame.
Too many women learn about their own reproductive and sexual health in pieces: a rushed appointment, a rumor from a friend, a search at 2 a.m. My work closes that gap.
As an epidemiologist, I study how health patterns move through communities and why some groups are left out of the conversation. As an educator, I translate that evidence into language people actually use, so they can make informed decisions, ask better questions, and advocate for themselves in the exam room and beyond.
“Education is the highest form of advocacy.”
Evidence firstEvery lesson is grounded in public health research.
Culturally rootedBuilt for Black women and girls, and welcoming to everyone.
Judgment freeNo question is too awkward, too basic, or too late.

Real cycles vary. For adults, anywhere from 21 to 35 days is typical, and cycles are often less regular in the first few years after a first period. Very painful, very heavy, or suddenly irregular periods are worth bringing to a clinician.
