Hediyeh Rappard is an attorney turned e-commerce entrepreneur as the founder of June Co. She continues to work in the field of law while also starting an e-commerce business selling sustainable menstrual care products. Her goal is to empower the community to take charge of their menstrual care in a sustainable manner.

She is currently selling the June Cup at cost ($6 plus flat rate shipping $3.99) to off-set the impact of COVID-19 and to address the clear shortage of access to resources and traditional menstrual care products during the pandemic.
