We are an advocacy podcast focusing on women and girl’s menstrual health. Chanel follows the journey of Karol, the founder of Las Fuertes, who is on a mission to give women and girls a dignified period experience through health education. Las Fuertes is a non-profit organization founded in February 2021 by Karol and we are celebrating the 1 year anniversary by launching Developing Las Fuertes Podcast. By listening you will follow the journey of what it is like to start a non-profit and at the same time fight the inner saboteur and impostor we all have inside.
Hello friends, thank you for tuning in! In today’s episode, Chanel and Karol celebrate Las Fuertes one year anniversary and this podcast's season 1 final episode! We touch on the most important topic yet, menstruation!
