Period poverty still a persistent problem in much of Kentucky
About this episode
The episode discusses the issue of period poverty in Kentucky and features an update from the non-profit Period Y'all and its founder.
Period poverty often goes unseen, but its impact on women and teens is significant in the Commonwealth and beyond. Governor Andy Beshear signed a proclamation last month declaring May 11 through 17 as Period Poverty Awareness Week in the Commonwealth. Dr. Greg recently got an update on the mission of the non-profit Period Y'all and its founder Skylar Davis.
