Welcome to our first newsletter of 2024. We’re excited to take our community built around in-person events and bring it online!
Every month, we will highlight female and diverse founders. To kick it off our first entrepreneur highlight, Val Emanuel shares her entrepreneurial insights on her company Rif Care.

Featured Founder: Val Emanuel
What is Rif Care?
Rif Care is a first of its kind period care brand that makes menstrual products out of hemp fiber.
Why did you launch Rif Care?
The brand came out of a personal need for me to find the purest form of period care, after suffering hormone imbalance and health issues. I started researching and realizing there had not been much innovation in period care materials, which is when the idea to use hemp fiber came along. It's truly a high performing, non toxic and super soft material and we saw where it could be used in menstrual products as an alternative!
What drives you to be an entrepreneur?
What drives me in this journey is helping women. For decades we have not had the best options, and now we have many options with white labeled brands and different messaging, but little to no real innovation. We are breaking through the noise and focusing on product performance, a more comfortable experience and educating people on the beauties of their bodies and how interconnected our cycles are to our overall health.
Where can people find your product?
People can find our product on our website, on Amazon, on Target.com and in retailers like Erewhon, Gelsons and soon in the Pacific North West, New Seasons market!
