Founder/Executive Director
Eiko is a writer born in Santurce, Puerto Rico. In 2019, she created The Flow Initiative after discovering that period poverty isn’t solely a problem in developing countries. She believes that eradicating period poverty must work in collaboration with establishing menstrual equity for all especially in demographics most affected inclusive of students, low-income individuals, unhoused and incarcerated girls, women and menstruators. She believes that without menstrual equity menstruating bodies will continue to be ignored and/or regulated. Pre Me Too, while living in Los Angeles, Eiko wrote about sexual harassment and assaults, when the topic was still considered taboo and untouchable.
