Periods Shouldn't Hurt So Badly and We're Going To Talk About It.

[This episode originally aired on 11/18/2019] It's taboo to talk about periods but guess what. We're going to talk about it today! They shouldn't hurt as badly as they do and many of us are suffering in silence. How do we make sure that every girl and woman who needs menstrual products get them?How do we make sure we're armed with the information we need to make good decisions about our menstrual health? Ileri Jaiyeoba (@ileri_jaiy14), NYU student and founder of Code Red Co., stopped by Magic Unfiltered to talk about the importance of breaking the taboo and the important work she's doing to provide menstrual products to homeless women and girls.
