Emmy Hancock is a social entrepreneur with a deep commitment to shining a light on period poverty. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, she founded and scaled Oluna, a social impact fashion company that leverages a fun and playful brand to improve menstrual product access. Every pair of pants purchased provides a year’s supply of feminine hygiene supplies and funds initiatives for menstrual education, policy, and research.
Emmy and I discuss why she was told by a mentor to make as much money as she could, hyperlocal activism, building Oluna by leveraging brand identity through a for-profit company.
Hancock has been featured in Marie Claire, Dallas Morning News, Biz Women, Ms. Magazine, and Forbes Magazine.
