Now imagine having your period and then there are no sanitary pads. Imagine if the only options you had were rags, cloth or even leaves to use for your period.
As awful as this sounds, this was the situation years ago before a black woman, Mary Beatrice Davidson Kenner, decided it was time for a change and that was how she invented sanitary pads.
Born on November 14, 1881, in Quebec, Canada, Kenner from a young age was always coming up with creative solutions to problems. She was only six when she attempted to invent a self-oiling door hinge.
