The Bleedership Team
Learn About Our
Bleedership Team
The Bleedership Team of the Lowcountry Period Pixies consists of VIP Volunteers who have stepped up to the plate to volunteer their services in leadership. Our leaders come from all walks of life and have one thing in common – their strong desire to ensure that every menstruator in our community has access to menstrual hygiene products. Meet the team:
Melissa Soule
Melissa Soule is the President of our organization. She is a single mom to a teenage son, Ben. She also works full-time as a teacher for the state virtual program, VirtualSC, and as a licensed mental health therapist. Feeling the need to make an impact in the community, she began the Lowcountry Period Pixies. Melissa’s passion is advocacy.
Pam Parr
After 45 years as an RN, Pam Parr moved to South Carolina. She volunteered for several not-for-profits after coming to South Carolina, but then she made her first delivery for The Lowcountry Period Pixies, and she knew she had found her niche. The people Pam has met through this project make her smile. Period Pixies and Tampon Fairies- they totally make a difference!
Katie Beth Preston
Katie Preston is a mom to two teenage boys. She works full-time as a bookkeeper for a woman-owned and operated trucking brokerage. Katie has volunteered for various community organizations since she was a teenager. As our newest team member, she is excited to help the Lowcountry Period Pixies grow & meet the needs of every menstruator.
Helana Frierson
Helana Frierson is a mother to a wonderful teenage boy, Logan, and a recent graduate of Trident Technical College. She discovered the Lowcountry Period Pixies after choosing the organization for a service project for Logan’s Taekwon-do Studio. She fell in love with the organization and its mission, and in October 2019, she joined the Bleedership team. She maintains our website and social media sites.
Chris Fazzio
Chris was born and raised in Wisconsin. She and her husband packed up their life and moved to South Carolina at the end of 2002. Two years ago as the country seemed to be going crazy, she started doing deliveries for the Lowcountry Period Pixies, where she found her passion. Everyone was happy to see her and so grateful for what the organization did for the community. Chris plays a vital role in our organization, whether it’s deliveries, product pick-up, or event coordinating.
