Today we’d like to introduce you to Davielle Jackson.
Hi Davielle, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My passion to innovate the feminine hygiene care market stems from my educational background. I was premed concluding my undergraduate degree in Biology, when a longtime friend came to me with a problem.
She said, “I really need your help.” Then proceeded to express that she has extreme flow during her period caused by Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) that was debilitating her life. She was at the point of sleeping on multiple towels, using two to three tampons at night, as well as missing class and work.
I was moved that she would approach me with this. I felt that there must be a way that she could live life. This was a challenge, but I wanted to help my friend. Diving deep into research, I was completely shocked at what was acceptable by the industry standards.
We had so many trials and errors with coming up with a concept that would break these limitations. I finally came up with a solution that allowed her to sleep tight and also go out without the worry of a leak. I decided to call it Pretty Panty because of the animal print, and they were so cute.
The research that I uncovered continued to haunt me. How could the government not regulate these mainstream products that were closely tied to causing fibroids, ovarian cysts, ovarian cancer, and other long-term damage to the health of women?
I decided to give women a better choice offering full coverage, all-natural, and chemical-free feminine hygiene care products. I want to lead the charge and teach women to ask questions about things that are going on with their bodies.
I look to a future where fibroids, PCOS, and all other feminine hormonal-induced disease will be minimized by the preventative effects of Femi Secrets.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Absolutely not. The good saying ” more money, more problems” that’s a real thing.
Being a woman and black woman in a space that I basically created myself also adds insult to injury.
Before I disrupted the fem care market in 2015, no other woman had done it in over 20 years. I created the lane. I said enough is enough. No more silence on the terrible and chemically filled products that were currently all women had to use. Before me, there was no thix, no Honey Pot, no anyone. My patented product, the Pretty Panty, showed other women that they too can create solutions.
One of the main struggles was going from medical student to CEO. Understanding the business and being in a highly scalable industry. My company grew so fast that getting the right team members, investors, and so forth was extremely difficult.
My youth was an issue as well. Hiring people my age was a struggle because they felt we were peers and they didn’t need to listen to me. Wanted to be my “friend ” more so.
So, being young, black, and a woman definitely made the process harder. Even until today, it’s the same issues. We have the best products with the best outcomes. Using the Pretty Panty alone eliminates the need for 3 products: Tampons, Pads and Panties. Not only is this saving the customer time and money but also the ecosystem. Over 100 billion pieces of waste come from the use of tampons and pads yearly. The Pretty Panty is biodegradable and compostable. With all that said, we should have been a billion-dollar company years ago, but the challenges as stated.
But we are there and will continue to make history, save billions of vaginas, and kill the competition.
