Nadya Okamoto Biography

Nadya Okamoto is a social entrepreneur, author, and activist recognized for her work in menstrual equity and women's health advocacy. Okamoto founded PERIOD at age 16, establishing it as the largest youth-led women's healthcare nonprofit organization, which provides menstrual products to underserved communities and promotes education about access to women's health products. She launched the organization after experiencing housing instability and learning about the challenges many homeless women face in accessing menstrual hygiene products. Under Okamoto's leadership, PERIOD addressed more than 900,000 periods and registered over 600 campus chapters across all 50 states and 30 other countries.

Okamoto is the author of the book "Period Power: A Manifesto for the Menstrual Movement," published by Simon & Schuster. The book was included in the Kirkus Reviews list for Best Young Adult Nonfiction. While studying at Harvard, Okamoto ran for City Council in Cambridge, Massachusetts, focusing on housing affordability, education equity, and sustainability. She graduated from Harvard and continued her advocacy through various platforms.

Okamoto co-founded August, a for-profit lifestyle period brand available online and at retailers including Target, Whole Foods, HEB, and Sprouts. The company also developed Ask August, an educational platform designed to help Generation Z navigate menstruation. Okamoto's work with August builds on her nonprofit experience, aiming to destigmatize periods and drive product innovation in the menstrual health industry.

On social media, Okamoto has built a following of over 4 million on TikTok, using the platform to provide period education and share brand stories. She has spoken at the MAKERS Conference on period poverty and policy alongside leaders in reproductive health, highlighting her role as a policy voice in menstrual equity. Beyond her work in menstrual health, Okamoto is a producer and host of the podcast "Tigress" and advocates for mental health awareness, openly discussing her experiences with depression, PTSD, and BPD.

Okamoto has been recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30, Bloomberg 50 Ones to Watch, People Magazine's Women Changing the World, and WWD's 30 Most Impactful Women Under 30 Across Beauty and Wellness. She has also been honored as a L'Oréal Women of Worth honoree and as a TEDxPortland speaker. Okamoto's career reflects her leadership in social entrepreneurship, women's health, Generation Z advocacy, and mental health awareness.
