Hi! I’m Myra Trudea Okumu — a writer, entrepreneur, menstrual hygiene advocate, author, and microbiologist.
Yes, that’s quite a few hats, but I wear them all with love and purpose.

I’m deeply passionate about storytelling, science, and social impact; three worlds that may seem different, but for me, they all connect through one goal: to make information and empowerment accessible to everyone. Whether I’m writing an article, leading a menstrual health workshop, or brainstorming my next project, I’m always thinking about how we can create spaces where people, especially women and girls, can thrive with confidence and dignity.

Here, you’ll find a little bit of everything that makes up my world — my writing, advocacy work, books, and projects. So grab a cup of tea, take a scroll, and get to know what I’ve been up to. I’m really glad you’re here. ❤️
