Summary

After being named Teen Vogues 21 under 21, Forbes 30 under 30, and GLAMOURS Woman Of The Year, Nadya Okamoto (founder of @periodmovement) was CANCELLED by her peers for misrepresenting her history within the community and being called out by other women of color. Nadya had two choices - let the cancel culture define her, or DO THE WORK. Not only is Nadya here to talk about how she's starting to gain back her mental strength but we talk about exactly what goes into coming back from "being cancelled".
