New Yorker of the Week: Laura Henny, Founder of The Rack Shack and Advocate for Body-Positive Bra Shopping

from New Yorker of the Week · host Nora Fried and Hanna Gerlander

Today’s episode is close to our hearts — quite literally (boobs!!) We’re joined by none other than the Bra Witch of Brooklyn herself: Laura Henny. Nestled in Bushwick, her iconic lingerie haven — The Rack Shack — is a magical space built for all boobs and all bodies. Laura has turned bra shopping into something that feels like a dream — joyful, judgment-free, and kind of like you're on a cloud. She also has a supernatural gift: she can look at your boobs and instantly know your correct size. Don’t believe us? Hanna walked in thinking she was a 36C — Laura took one look and said, absolutely not. Consider us converted. Tune in as the magic (and the boob-myth-busting) unfolds in today’s episode! Love us?
