Episode notes

Nadya Okamoto is a multifaceted entrepreneur, author, and activist. At 16 years old, Nadya founded PERIOD, a non-profit tackling menstrual needs which led her to realize the pressing need for more sustainable period care. Enter August, a gender-inclusive, sustainable and ultra-comfy period care brand which crossed the $1 million sales threshold in its first year of business.

Nadya's debut book, "Period Power: A Manifesto for the Menstrual Movement", explores the intersectionality of periods in socioeconomic, racial, and gender contexts. Her impact has secured her positions on Forbes 30 Under 30, Bloomberg's "50 Ones to Watch," and People Magazine's Women Changing the World. Join us as we delve into Nadya's journey, activism, and the power of Gen Z communities.
