We can’t believe we haven’t done an episode on this before, but we’re finally talking about periods!

To help cover this topic, I brought on Nadya Okamoto, founder of August, a company focused on inclusivity, sustainability, and creating period products without shame, founder of PERIOD, an organization fighting to end period poverty and stigma, and author of Period Power: A Manifesto for the Menstrual Movement. She also hosts the podcasts The Period Feels and Tigress.

(This episode was recorded before the SCOTUS news was released, we’re including some ways to support reproductive rights down in the show notes!)

You can Find Nadya at @nadyaokamoto on Instagram and @nadyaokamoto on Tik Tok.

You can follow Katie on Instagram at @katiesturino and @megabababe

Some organizations working to end period poverty:

Dignity Grows - a national provider of free comprehensive hygiene essentials paired with period products and distributed in a discreet fashion.

Lowcountry Period Project - a South Carolina-based org provides period products, education, and advocates for menstrual equity, working to end the luxury tax on menstrual hygiene products.

Period - distributes free menstrual products to communities in need and advocates for systematic change through policy and legislation.

Check out the National Network of Abortion Funds to support local, independent, abortion funds across the U.S.. You can find a list of funds roughly ordered by how dire the situation in their respective states is, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights’ “What If Roe Fell?” report here.
