Mini Ep. Periods, Pads & Predictable Racism

In our first mini episode, Megan flies solo covering African American inventor Mary Kenner, best known for her period patent product. Say that five times fast…


Mary Kenner

Periods suck. Periods suck even more when you find a way to make them a little less sucky, spend hundreds of dollars to patent your idea, only to get shot down for making it because – get this – you’re black. Yup. Reality for Mary Kenner.
This episode we cover who this inventor is, what ideas she came up with, what happened in racist AF 1960’s America and how all of this relates to your period.
