Enter August, a gender-inclusive, sustainable and ultra-comfy period care brand which crossed the $1 million sales threshold in its first year of business.</p><br><p>Nadya's debut book, "Period Power: A Manifesto for the Menstrual Movement", explores the intersectionality of periods in socioeconomic, racial, and gender contexts. Her impact has secured her positions on Forbes 30 Under 30, Bloomberg's "50 Ones to Watch," and People Magazine's Women Changing the World.
