You’ve heard us fangirl about the website and what it stands for. Now, we’re absolutely freaking JAZZED to welcome Virginia Mendez, co-founder of The Feminist Shop, onto Geek Herring to talk all things feminism and being a professional feminist!

Believe it or not, Virginia hasn’t always identified as a feminist. Shocking, we know! But after a stimulating discussion with her father-in-law, believe it or not, who told her that all her ideals were that of a feminist, Virginia started to take the movement seriously.

And devote her life to raising feminist kids in an equal household, writing feminist childrens books, and starting her own hub for all things feminism.

I was joined by the co-founder of THE FEMINIST SHOP Virginia Mendez Meson and we chat about her upbringing in Madrid, why she started The Feminist Shop, how she spreads the F Word and what her future holds!

Tide Member Virginia Méndez is the Founder and CEO of The Feminist Shop, an online destination for the diverse feminist community, with a retail wing which sends clothing printed-on-demand to feminist shoppers around the world.

We asked Virginia how the coronavirus outbreak is affecting her company, the customers and her finances.

Continuing on with my series of posts for International Women’s day this week. We’ve had feminist books for children and female entrepreneurs that live in my local area so far this week. Today I am interviewing Virginia who is the founder of The Feminist Shop. A great place for t-shirts, book, items and gifts that support this important issue.

A Belfast entreprenuer who is currently enrolled within our valued partner, Ulster Bank's Accelerator Programme, has been announced as one of the best in the country!
