About Jess:

Jess is a passionate menstrual health activist and the founder of Jess Period, a proudly Latina-owned brand offering handmade, reusable cloth pads, and The Bloody Academy, an educational space for period empowerment. As a proud menstruator and advocate, Jess is on a mission to shift the narrative around menstruation, especially within communities of color.

After switching to reusable pads over two years ago, Jess experienced such a profound transformation that she never returned to disposable products. This choice became a catalyst for reclaiming agency over her body and health. She believes that when menstruators are given real options — and the education to understand them — they begin to make more empowered decisions not only about their cycles, but their lives as a whole.

Jess often reflects on how, when she first got her period, no options were offered — not even a tampon. This absence of choice highlighted a deeper truth: that many people are only ever presented with limited options across various aspects of life. Through Jess Period, she aims to change that by offering safe, sustainable, and joyful alternatives to conventional period products.

Raised in a household full of girls, Jess personally experienced period poverty, although she didn’t have a name for it until adulthood. She now works to bring awareness to the lack of education and conversation around menstruation — particularly in marginalized communities — and is committed to making periods a topic that is openly and confidently discussed.

Through her work, Jess hopes to inspire menstruators to not only feel more at home in their bodies, but to recognize the power that comes from informed, conscious choices.
