When I first meet Davielle Jackson it was her passion for the cause she is pushing that won me over beyond just the business she built. I have often heard that great inventions are built from pain and frustration but I can say knowing this story, this business was built from passion.

Davielle shared

Crazy thing is, I was the first majority women owned and black owned business to enter Walmart and Target in the Feminine Hygiene sector! There was no Term “Fem Tech” until I created the market for it! I’ve paved the way for so many women who are able to enter retail now and I’m thankful for that. My goal has always been to help others create wealth and live their dreams and in so many ways it’s coming to fruition!

According to www.FemiSecrets.com a childhood friend of Davielle Jackson, a serial entrepreneur, approached her about a problem she was having — prolonged and heavy menstrual flow caused by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). At the time, Jackson was a medical school student in a hospital rotation. She heard women raving about the disposal panites they received after giving birth. She saw a business opportunity.

In 2012, Jackson developed a prototype and manufactured it overseas. Her fashionable leak-proof panty with a built-in pad that is biodegradable, disposable, and comfortable became the first product from Femi Secrets.

In her recent article with Forbes Davielle shares her beginnings of kicking off her product in Walmart and later moving into Target.

According to the Forbes article

The worldwide feminine hygiene market will rise to $40 billion, according to Statista. Driving growth is the demand for products that do not use chemicals, dyes, and irritants that could prove harmful to women, according to Allied Market Research.
