The No Woman, No Girl Mission and Founding Story, with Shirnetta Harrell
"90% of my work is educational. It's teaching people who may not have ever experienced poverty or adversity about the privilege and honor of what it is to be able to go to Target and spend a hundred dollars on deodorant and pads."
As a social worker, Shirnetta Harrell saw too many situations where a girl would need to get a toothbrush for the night, or hadn't washed her hair in months, or was using tissues for her period because she couldn't afford tampons. It was then that she made it her mission that no woman and no girl will go without access to everyday essentials to survive crisis or transition.
Today she shares her why behind founding No Woman No Girl, her drive to serve others, and what all of us can do to help.
