Atlanta, GA, United States, 24th Oct 2025 – Morgan Spencer, a 16-year-old entrepreneur from the United States and founder of Lotus Flo, has taken top honors at the Junior Teen Tank Competition during the prestigious On the Hill Summit in Washington, D.C.  earning international recognition for her groundbreaking work to end period poverty and inspire a new generation of changemakers.

Lotus Flo is a youth-led nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing menstrual equity through sustainable product distribution, education, and global partnerships. Since its founding, the organization has impacted communities across the United States, the Bahamas, and Monaco  providing PFAS-free menstrual products and vital menstrual health workshops for girls and women.

A dedicated scholar and advocate, Morgan was a member of the Veritas Debate Team, which allowed her to compete at Harvard University for two weeks. During her time at Harvard, she deepened her studies in women’s rights and feminism, strengthening her resolve to create global change through education and advocacy. She also serves as the youngest Youth Commissioner in Gwinnett County, the second-largest county in the state of Georgia  where she contributes to youth engagement and community development initiatives.

In a powerful gesture of global unity, Morgan announced that 10% of her competition winnings will be donated to SheCanHeCan (www.shecanhecan.org), a Monaco-based nonprofit committed to empowering girls and promoting gender equality.

“It’s important to me that Lotus Flo represents more than just change in America,” said Morgan Spencer. “Our mission is to connect girls across borders — to show that dignity, education, and opportunity are universal rights. Supporting SheCanHeCan allows us to amplify that mission in Monaco and beyond.”

The collaboration between Lotus Flo and SheCanHeCan underscores how youth leadership can spark global movements. Together, these organizations are breaking barriers and building bridges — demonstrating that when young people lead with purpose, communities everywhere benefit.

Lotus Flo Box Launch

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Lotus Flo Box, a convenient and affordable menstrual care solution designed with comfort and choice in mind. Each pre-packed box includes your preferred menstrual products — pads, tampons, liners, or period panties — along with a stylish zipper pouch for on-the-go storage.

Available as either a one-time purchase or a monthly subscription, the Lotus Flo Box makes it easy to stay prepared while saving money compared to regular store purchases. Empowering wellness, convenience, and confidence — one cycle at a time.

Building on this momentum, Lotus Flo continues to expand its Period Positive Subscription Box and other outreach initiatives, allowing individuals, schools, and organizations to make a tangible difference in the lives of girls and women worldwide.

“Every subscription box purchased helps a girl stay in school, maintain her health, and feel confident,” Morgan added. “It’s not just a product it’s a movement.”

Morgan aspires to continue her academic journey by contributing to the development and reform of international policies that advance gender equality and global health  a mission she hopes to carry into her future career.
