In 2022, a women's health study published by the University of Michigan showed that black women are more likely to experience symptoms related to menopause, including hot flushes, depression and sleep disturbances. And not only that - black women are less l

The period-positive start-ups revolutionising the feminine care industry

Considering half the population deals with it on a monthly basis, it might be shocking to learn that there has been little innovation around period products since the 1930s – when the modern-day tampon was launched.

The brand turning ocean waste into swimwear

From unsustainable manufacturing methods to toxic waste and water pollution – fast fashion comes at a huge cost to the environment.

It is estimated that around 700,000 tonnes of fishing equipment is abandoned in the ocean each year – worse still, nets and pots can continue to trap fish and crustaceans for up to 30 years.

At a time when UK supermarkets haven taken to rationing vegetables as a result of a poor harvest in Southern Europe, one green-fingered duo have found a new solution to the healthy-eating problem: Grow your own greens, deep down below the City of London.

If you get off the tube at Clapham Common and then step into a cage-like lift that takes you about 100ft below the bustling streets of South London, you’ll find yourself in Growing Underground, an urban farm, housed in a network of dark and din
