Periods are often uncomfortable and inconvenient experiences for women. So, imagine the experiences of women in underdeveloped countries with no access to menstrual products or even clean water. This is where SMU School of Social Sciences alumna Vanessa Paranjothy saw a better and much-needed solution—menstrual cups. Together with her co-founders, they began Freedom Cups. In this #TalentsofSMU video, Vanessa shares with us what sets her soul on fire and fuels her passion.
The #TalentsOfSMU series is a hat tip to individuals across the SMU community who are embracing their artistry with grit and tenacity—mavericks in their own right. These are the Talents of SMU and here are their unique stories.
