Menstruation is one of the many bodily issues women have been taught to suppress.
Our guest, Rachael Kim, said “enough with the silence,” and is actively changing the social conversation around menstrual health.
She’s the Co-Founder and CEO of My Comma—an organic period care subscription platform amplifying women/BIPOC led brands to menstruators, and powering new routines.
My Comma represents the pause to take care of oneself, acknowledge the different facets of you, and the fact that it takes more than yourself to change the social conversation around menstrual health.
This work gave rise to the Femtech Salon series taking place in LA, ATL, MIA with other high growth cities — to support and amplify diverse femtech founders by creating more connected ecosystems in their respective local cities.
A Forbes Trailblazer, Rachael is a Northwestern and London School of Economics alum who spent 10 years working for Strategy, Risk, and Analytics in Accenture. As an ex-corporate intrapreneur turned social impact entrepreneur, after experiencing health issues, she uses her superpowers for gender equity, particularly period equity while supporting overlooked businesses.
