Vicky: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Dapper Boi is a body-inclusive clothing line that my wife, Charisse, and I started in 2015. We're partners in business and in life and have five-year-old twin girls. Our mission is to ensure everyone has access to affordable, stylish clothes that fit both their body, and, more importantly, their personality. We believe changing your clothes can change your life.
Thanks for having me, Spiffy! I started Share the Dignity in 2015 after reading an article about homeless women having difficulty managing their period. Instead of thinking “why is no one doing anything about this,” I thought “what is stopping me from doing something,” and decided to take action. The first year I collected 450 period products and distributed them to local charities in my area. Over 6,000 volunteers have now joined me to ensure menstrual equity for all, and thanks to their selflessness and generosity we have been able to collect over four million period products and over 800,000 bags filled with essential items for the people we support.
Reese: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! My project is a self-published magazine that gives young transgender people in Romania resources to learn about their bodies, and find comfort in them. If you're transgender, it's very hard to find advice and help in your native language, especially from fellow transgender folks who won't judge you or try to "fix" you. That can feel really alienating.
