Tackling Period Poverty - with Ruth Marsden, The Better Company
Manage episode 424745447 series 2798978
Ruth Marsden is the founder of The Better Company, a brand that sells reusable period products on a one-for-one donation model.
Ruth joined me to discuss her journey from an actress to an entrepreneur, creating a business that not only sells reusable menstrual products but also gives back to communities in need.
Ruth’s story is rooted in Zimbabwe, where she discovered that many girls miss school because they lack access to period products. Ruth decided to bring menstrual cups to this community, enabling girls to stay in school and improving their quality of life.
I loved hearing about what inspired Ruth to start her business, about her business model, the process of manufacturing an aesthetically appealing safe product, and how Instagram videos, press outreach, and educational content were crucial in demystifying and promoting her product.
