INTERVIEW: This week I'm chatting with the incredible Nayda Okamoto, the co-founder and CEO behind August, a period care company for and by Gen Z. We're talking all things menstruation, period culture, and building impactful business. At the age of 16, Nadya founded PERIOD, an organization fighting to end period poverty and stigma. Under her leadership, PERIOD addressed over 1.5 million periods and registered over 800 campus chapters in all 50 states and 50 other countries. In 2018, she published her debut book, Period Power: A Manifesto for the Menstrual Movement , and since then has been recognized on the lists of Forbes 30 under 30, Bloomberg 50 “Ones to Watch” and People Magazine's Women Changing the World.
