In this episode, Erika is joined by Marina, the President of Tokyo Period. We talk all about periods from how she started the Tokyo chapter of the period movement, why we should all care about periods, period disasters, the social implications of periods to bleeding sustainably. Hope you enjoy and thank you again to Marina! They are also currently fundraising money for menstruation products for refugees and asylum seekers in Japan, link below.
Correction: Marina meant to say "In terms of leadership, we didn’t define ourselves based on gender (instead of "women or girls") we based them on beliefs and that was really a wonderful experience for me" towards the beginning of the episode.
