The Story
Pain, disclosure, or health status shouldn’t define who you are or the value you bring to relationships. A woman suffering from endometriosis is so much more than her pain. Someone living with HPV is more than her doctor’s visits and bigger than her fear of cervical cancer. We want to normalize the conversation around women’s health and encourage women to take control of their narrative. When we remove those fears and stigmas, we open the door for education. And the more we educate, the more we can reduce the chances of women facing tragic diseases like cervical cancer due to untreated diagnosis.
We want Her Pretty Vagina to inspire young women and young men to have these important conversations. Understanding a story like Kaleigh’s can create a necessary dialogue between partners, family, friends, and even health professionals. It allows room for grace and understanding when it comes to the vastly misunderstood world of women’s health. If we can be the bridge to that place, then we’ve done our job as storytellers.
A dark edgy comedy catered to the progressive and sometimes cynical minds of Gen Z and Millennials. Kaleigh’s life is a twist of dark and light moments, an ebb and flow between the levity and devastation life brings. As we sink with Kaleigh into her inevitable lows, we also journey through her highs with a unique form of escapism – stylized disassociations through which she reclaims her power while making everyone feel what she feels.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection. More than 90% of sexually active men and 80% of sexually active women will be infected with HPV in their lifetime. Around 50% of HPV infections involve certain high-risk types of HPV, which can cause cancer.
Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing life-impacting pain, abdominal bloating, nausea, fatigue, and sometimes depression, anxiety, and infertility. Endometriosis affects roughly 10% (190 million) of reproductive-age women and girls globally.
The underdog of indie filmmaking, Kiah Clingman finds purpose in uplifting the voices of the unheard and bringing awareness to ignored and misunderstood topics. She seamlessly integrates her corporate expertise with her creative flair. Adopted by Atlanta, Kiah is a passionate advocate for telling stories about her second home and making sure her crew and talent on screen reflects the city.
In 2019, Kiah pursued storytelling full-time and has since created 3 features, 17 short films, 2 webseries and various branded & digital content. She produced the film “Black Santa”, which premiered at Tribeca 2022. She wrote and produced her SAG short, “Eavesdropping on the Elders,” which received 17 Official Selections and won "Best Film" twice, and can be seen on Revolt. Kiah produced two feature films, “The Comeback” and “Boxed In 2”, both airing on Peacock Fall 2023.
Kiah was recently named the winner of the Tribeca - AT&T Untold Stories Program where she and her team were awarded one million dollars to produce the feature film, “Color Book.”, which will premiere June 2024 at Tribeca Film Festival.
