A Conversation with Lysne Tait of Helping Women Period Mission Control Episode 10

In this episode, we have a repeat conversation with Lysne Tait who we interviewed last year. We felt that due to all of the publicity around the article in Oprah’s Magazine and the legislation she helped spearhead there was a lot to talk about since the beginning of the year. So join us for that as well as her journey into solo executive director leadership over the past couple of years.

Helping Women Period’s Mission is to provide no cost menstrual products those experiencing homeless or low-income disparity.
