Nadya Okamoto

Nadya Okamoto founded PERIOD.org in December 2014, an organization initially named Camions of Care, committed to advancing menstrual equity and destigmatizing periods. Under her leadership, the organization grew significantly, establishing 800 campus chapters across all 50 U.S. states and 40 other countries. PERIOD.org focused on distributing menstrual hygiene products and actively advocating for the elimination of the tampon tax, generating $420,000 in annual revenue by 2018.

The brand successfully raised nearly $2 million in its seed round, with Hannah Grey as a lead investor, further solidifying Okamoto’s influence as an entrepreneur and advocate. She graduated from Harvard College in 2021.
