“A shower is so vital to our sense of self and our dignity, and dignity is a very powerful two way street. It's as much about how you feel about yourself as it is about how people treat you. When you don't have the ability to get clean and stay clean, the way that people treat you erodes really quickly.”

In this episode, Doniece Sandoval, social activist, entrepreneur and founder of LavaMae, shares how she is alleviating the plight of the unhoused by offering personal sanitation services by converting buses into mobile showers.

The transformative power of LavaMae is in offering one of the most simple, basic human needs--a hot shower--kindly, beautifully and unconditionally.
