At a Young Women’s Initiative Day at the Minnesota Capitol, I met Mary Kenny, who was tabling for a Menstrual Products in Schools toolkit. I was interested in being involved and signed on to the project as a high school student from St. Michael-Albertville. Over the next few months, I worked with Kenny about how my perspectives might benefit the toolkit development.
