Notable Work
Tampon Tuesday (2009 – Present)
Founded in 2009 by Mandi Fields, Tampon Tuesday is a grassroots initiative addressing period poverty and advancing menstrual equity. Structured as a community networking event, attendees donate tampons or pads that are distributed to local food banks. Over the past 15+ years, the movement has expanded across North America, championing access to essential products in a dignified, stigma-free way through community action, advocacy, and education.
The initiative has won numerous awards and recognitions for its impact and innovation.

The Imagine Build (2021 – Present)
Co-created by Mandi Fields and Ray John Jr in 2021, The Imagine Build addresses the housing crisis on Oneida Nation of the Thames by creating safe, affordable, and accessible homes. To date, the initiative has built five homes and raised over $1.5M, collaborating closely with Oneida leadership, builders, funders, volunteers, and community members to ensure lasting community impact.
Fields to Forks (2015 – Present)
Created by Mandi Fields in 2015 during her time at Bell Media, Fields to Forks provides an inside look at the industry that feeds us. The series highlights the dedication and expertise of Canadian farmers, manufacturers, and distributors, showcasing the journey of food production — from fields and livestock to the meals on our tables — and celebrating the passion and commitment behind every step from farm to fork. Mandi worked cross-functionally to bring Fields to Forks to life, and it has grown to be a national campaign.

Waking the Giants: The Art of Sean Couchie (2022)
In partnership with TIFF Bell Lightbox and Bell Media, Waking the Giants was a public art installation by Indigenous artist Sean Couchie, a member of the Nipissing Band of Ojibways.
