One in four American menstruators have missed class because of improper access to period products. Andrea Rix and Yasi Henderson decided to do something about it. They created the Period Poverty Project, an organization based in San Diego, CA with a mission of dismantling the stigma around menstrual health and providing easier access to period products. In their first project, they donated over 500 period packs to the Rachel's Women's Center in Downtown San Diego and in their growing community of 35-40 volunteers and changemakers, Andrea and Yasi are here to change the way we talk about periods! In this episode, I got to talk to them about their own experience learning about period poverty and what they've learned throughout this process. If you enjoy this episode, and you find yourself coming back, make sure you follow the show and leave us a review!
