A North Texas teen is being recognized nationally for her efforts in supporting women in struggling communities.
After years of volunteering to help the homeless and underserved families in DFW, 17-year-old Taylor McCowan said she noticed something: Women and girls often weren't given or didn't have any access to feminine hygiene products.
Inspired by this, she founded The Confident Girl, a project aimed at ending period poverty across North Texas and beyond. McCowan started collecting supplies and within the last several months, she has delivered 250 special period kits filled with toiletries to community centers and schools across the Metroplex.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
