We're back for a new season! Are you ready to start the conversation with some insights on how we think about and how we speak more openly about menstrual health?
Leading the charge shift attitudes in South Africa is Zizipho Ntobongwana, the dynamic founder of Sheba Feminine. Our conversation sheds light on the importance of organic and biodegradable products and we discuss her mission to reframe menstrual health. We get into the details of her entrepreneurial journey - from fair competition in the personal hygiene industry, to Decolonizing Sustainability, and fostering a community that takes pride in their bodies and the products they use.
Zizipho also introduces us to Sheba Feminine's innovative 'Pay for a Pal's Pads' program and the need for intergenerational dialogue to remove the stigma surrounding menstruation and women's sexual health. We navigate the difficulties of pricing high-quality menstrual products, the diverse range of products Sheba Feminine offers, and the societal change in attitude towards these topics.
Zizipho eloquently breaks down the Westernized perception of sustainability and the urgency to reconnect with our ancestral practices. In the conversation, you'll also hear how Sheba Feminine is challenging the norm, as well as how they are tackling the intergenerational gap between educators and school pupils. We wrap up the conversation up with Zizi's personal story of overcoming societal taboos and her mission to empower women through her amazing brand.
So, be sure not to miss it!
