Summary

“Oh my god, that’s my purpose in life, is to change the way the world periods.” This was a lightbulb moment for Karla Welch, CEO & Co-Founder of The Period Company. Famously known for being a celebrity fashion stylist, Karla isn’t one who shies away from breaking the mold. As a social justice advocate, Karla has used her social media platform to raise awareness about social issues. Her brand x Karla also raises money for social causes through collaborations. So when her child got their first period at ten years old, Karla immediately rethought how we period. As a stylist and creator of her own line of t-shirts, Karla knew that she had to make period underwear. With that, The Period Company was born. The Period Company is dedicated to the quest of ending period poverty for all. Thanks for listening!
