Menstruation, lets talk about it. Period. Nadya explores woman’s unaddressed needs of
menstrual hygiene among poor and homeless women. She is a wonderful example advocating for natural needs and female empowerment.
Nadya recently graduated from high school with honors from Catlin Gabel. She founded Camions of Care after her family experienced a degree of homelessness, during which she discovered the unaddressed need of
menstrual hygiene among poor and homeless women. Her nonprofit is dedicated to helping women who can’t afford menstrual products so that they can achieve their full potential. She is also Youth Director of Social Venture Partners Youth, and serves on the Women’s Foundation of Oregon board. When she is not advocating
for natural needs and women’s empowerment, she loves to snowboard and listen to Whitney Houston.
