Working to Restore Dignity, One Feminine Hygiene Product at a Time By Jade Emerson
Lisa Pierce-Johnson’s, founder and vice chair of She Supply, daughter was working in her mother’s psychiatry office. One day in the office bathroom a young woman asked her for a tampon. She had recently been displaced. She couldn’t pay for her college. She couldn’t pay for her appointment. She couldn’t even pay for gas to get home, let alone a box of tampons. Lisa’s daughter, who always had her own small bag of period products with her, gave the young woman what she had and later told her mom about the experience. “It started a conversation with my daughter, who knew about period poverty,” Lisa says. “I think that one moment made me more curious, and I always go back to that whenever I tell people about my passion for this.”
