Episode 764 with guests Shanda Golden & Afshan West

Afshan West is the Executive Director of Safe Embrace, a local nonprofit domestic violence organization located in the Reno Tahoe area.

#goldentampon was founded in 2017 by Shanda Golden and is now an annual event that distributes tampons and pads for homeless women. Shanda believes that by working together and providing feminine hygiene products for our sisters in transition we can help homeless women restore their dignity. The number of families in the US needing assistance continues to increase every year. The lack of access to menstrual health products for people who are either homeless or low-income is appalling. SNAP or welfare programs do not cover the cost of these necessary products. Many times a woman must choose between food and her hygiene products.
