    Changemakers: Farah Kabir, co-founder of Hanx

    Changemakers: Farah Kabir, co-founder of Hanx

    This week Natalie met the changemaker championing unapologetic sexual and intimate health for everyone.
    In 2017, best friends Farah Kabir and Dr Sarah Welsh were both equally frustrated with the limited variety and their experience in the condom and lube aisle.
    They created HANX with the purpose to start a sex-positive and sustainable brand with gynae-backed sexual wellness products everyone would love, with no harsh chemicals.
    Their attitude to challenge the status quo and misconceptions about our bodies is a step in the right direction to get rid of the days where you are left blushing at the till or embarrassed about buying sexual wellness and intimate health products.
    After putting their life savings into this startup, their story is all about taking the leap and trusting your ambition. Join us in-person and online on 23rd August to meet co-founder Farah to ask her all the questions you want to know about starting up and challenging taboo subjects.
    Apologies for the sound quality in this episode, we had some tech problems on the night. We'll do better next time.
