OUR TEAM

Kamilah (she/her) is an Associate Producer at StoryCorps, the national oral history project, and the host of the StoryCorps podcast from NPR. She graduated from the Transom Audio Storytelling Workshop in 2019. Kamilah’s love for radio blossomed out of a desire to understand more about what makes us who we are. As a storyteller, she’s committed to starting conversations to make lasting changes in underserved communities.

Kamilah and her older sister both got their first periods at the same time — even though they’re seven years apart.

Mia (she/her) is an independent audio producer living in Brooklyn, NY. Previously, Mia was an Editing Fellow for Feet in 2 Worlds, an organization that's brought the work of immigrant journalists to public media since 2003. She's produced podcasts with the Mash-Up Americans and spent five years making radio at StoryCorps, the national oral history project. Mia got her start in audio storytelling in Lima, Peru, where she documented stories in the Japanese Peruvian community on a Fulbright fellowship.

Mia recently started using period underwear and loves it.

Kojin (he/him) is LWC Studios' Associate Sound Designer. Using his experience producing music for Grammy-winning artists and working in public radio broadcast, Kojin aims to cover production for a diverse range of content from all parts of the world — including his hometown of Tokyo, Japan.

Kojin is way less awkward walking through the period product aisle these days — thanks to working on FMF!

Jen Chien (she/her) is LWC Studios’ Executive Editor. Previously, she was Senior Radio Editor at Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting and Managing Editor for Crosscurrents and KALW News. Before she fell in love with audio storytelling, she was a dancer, yoga teacher and massage therapist.

Jen is an evangelist for menstrual cups — she hasn't spent money on period products in years.

Juleyka (she/her) founded the digital media studio LWC Studios to center stories and storytellers from the margins. So far, the network has launched four original shows and garnered awards for its work. They’ve also established themselves on the commercial side with clients that include Marvel Entertainment, Macmillan Podcasts, NPR affiliates KQED and WHYY, and the Phi Beta Kappa Society.

She is happy she’s been a late bloomer all her life.
