Show Notes

Periods, we all get them, so why are we so uncomfortable talking about them? This week on our podcast, we spoke to two individuals, Kate Elliott, director of operations from Changing The Flow, a social venture striving for period equity, and Justin Chan, founder of The Community Company, a brand that aims to create products that start conversations. Changing The Flow and The Community Company have recently come together to work on The Period Project. 

The Period Project aims to increase access to menstrual products during this pandemic, and normalize the conversation around periods through the sale of Period T-Shirts. Proceeds from every sale will help fund the distribution of Period Packs to over 50 pop-up locations in the community for students and families in need of menstrual products during this pandemic.
