Good morning Freclity Fam. Today we are joined by Nadia Okomoto.

She is a 23 year old Harvard graduate and co-founder of August,

which is a lifestyle brand working to reimagine periods and the experience.

She also founded Period at age 16, which is an organization fighting to end period poverty and stigma.

And she ran for public office in Cambridge, mass at the age of 19.

And she also just published her debut book Period Power.

Like, it clearly does it all.

You also may know her from her viral TikToks showing her period blood in an effort to educate people on menstrual products and periods with the goal of normalizing the conversation and breaking the stigma.

In today's episode, we dive into August, what her mission is with the company,

how she came about being interested in period poverty and breaking the stigma around menstruating.

And also, like, what goes into creating the content she makes, the backlash, how she handles those opinions.

We talk about mental health, trigger warning. We also do talk about sexual assault.

So we really get into a bunch of things.

I have really enjoyed following Nadia over the past few months.

I think she's an awesome follow and clearly is doing really, really awesome work in breaking the stigma around this conversation and helping menstruators all over feel more comfortable about this really fucking powerful thing.

And that their bodies are doing.

So without further ado, here is the conversation with Nadia.
