Patricia Kayanga, an innovative and eco-friendly entrepreneur, has made history by becoming the first black woman to hold a U.S. patent for disposable underwear made out of bamboo.

Kayanga is the founder of Ohhs disposable underwear, a product that is aimed at a market that has been largely ignored. Kayanga revealed that when she went on the patent website to see what else was out there, she couldn’t find anything comparable.

Despite facing rejection from certain manufacturers in the United States, Kayanga finally found a manufacturer who was willing to work with her to create her product.

Ohhs disposable underwear is made from recycled fabric and bamboo, making it eco-friendly. For every pair of underwear sold, Kayanga donates a pair of eco-friendly underwear to local domestic violence shelters.

The product has become a favorite among people on vacation and women on their period, as it provides comfort. Additionally, it has proved to be very useful for people in need of feminine products.

Homeless shelters, for instance, have reported that underwear is the second most requested item. Kayanga’s product can help fulfill that need conveniently.

Kayanga’s goal is to scale Ohhs disposable underwear across the nation to ensure that everyone has access to it, regardless of their circumstances. Speaking on her historic achievement, Kayanga said that it still doesn’t feel real to her.

For her, the most important thing is that she created something for everyone, without envisioning what else that could mean. Her innovative and eco-friendly product has already made a significant impact in addressing an unmet need in society.

Another amazing woman is Jasmine “Jazzy Mac” McCall, a 31-year-old mom, entrepreneur and personal finance influencer who makes $105,000 a month in passive income from her side hustle. She quit her full-time job as a resource manager at Amazon in May 2022 to focus on creating and selling digital products that help people improve their credit scores and financial literacy.

Her journey started in August 2021, when she posted a YouTube video sharing how she went from a credit score of 495 to 820 by disputing inaccurate information on her credit report. She had no idea that six months later, that video would go viral and attract thousands of viewers who wanted to learn from her experience.

She decided to create a digital product called the Credit Repair Kit, which contains templates of dispute letters, step-by-step instructions and tips on how to boost your credit score. She sells the kit for $47 on her website and promotes it on her YouTube channel, where she has over 300,000 subscribers.

She also created other digital products, such as the Budget Planner, the Debt Payoff Plan and the Financial Freedom Course, which cover topics such as saving money, paying off debt and investing. She sells these products for $27 to $97 each.

In addition to digital product sales, she also earns passive income from YouTube ad revenue and brand partnerships. She works with companies such as Credit Karma, Capital One and NerdWallet to create sponsored content that educates her audience on various financial topics.
