Nadya Okamoto is only a sophomore at Harvard Univer­sity, and she has already run for city council in Cambridge, Massachusetts. “If we’re going to have a president who talks poorly about women — that’s why women need to be in politics,” she says. “I never thought to run for office until councilors, who I kept telling my ideas to, said, ‘Stop telling us how to do our jobs. You should run yourself.’” While Nadya didn’t win, she made major waves, rallying students to turn out at the polls and have their votes counted. Nadya is also the founder and executive director of the nonprofit organization Period, which seeks to normalize the conversation around peri­ods and provide menstrual products to those in need. She recently signed a deal to write a book on the topic. “When I started Period, I didn’t think it would grow so fast,” she says. “I was just trying to do the work I felt like I needed to. It was very passion-driven.” Having also started Eplur.org, a space where young people can share stories about how the current administration’s actions are affecting them, Nadya is proof that the future is defi­nitely female. #21Under21 ?: @camilafalquez
