Description

Nearly half of girls in the U.S. have lacked access to period products, and 1 in 5 have missed school because of it. With a tampon shortage and increasing costs, the problem is worsening and forcing girls to use unhygienic and unsafe alternatives. And it doesn’t help that most states tax period products like luxury goods. In this episode, we discuss the movement for menstrual equity with Lynette Medley, the Founder & CEO of No More Secrets Mind Body Spirituality.Follow No More Secrets on Instagram.Follow host Halle Tecco on Instagram.Visit The Heart of Healthcare website for episode recaps.Visit offscrip.com/shows for more podcasts.
