In the summer of 2025, then-high school junior Boey Cho launched her passion project, Go With The Flo Orlando, a nonprofit aiming to address disparities in women’s health care and access to menstrual products. She set up a series of “period pantries” — revitalized newspaper boxes and mini lockers full of free pads, tampons and menstrual cups — across Orlando.
Back then, she’d opened three pantries. Now, as Cho enters her senior year, she’s established 10. They inhabit various everyday places: a thrift store, a coffee shop, a laundromat, a yoga studio.
One sits in The Eagles’ Market, a food pantry started by students in 2017 at Edgewater High School, where Cho attends. With the help of the school’s Interact Club, a leadership and community service group, she packaged supplies for her pantries in light pink paper bags.
“I’m so grateful that it’s been so successful, and I’ve been able to reach this many people and places,” Cho said. “It’s a privilege every day that I get to help people, and advocate for an issue that I care about.”

As a part of this advocacy, she collaborated with the yoga studio Peaceful Peacock Orlando, which is home to one of her pantries. The event, “Friend-struation,” was part yoga class, part supply drive. As donations flowed in, yoga instructors taught stretches to relieve menstrual cramping.
Then, in April, Cho spoke at REDTalk, a speaker conference highlighting all things menstrual health, hosted by Rollins College’s Menstrual Equity Initiative.
Even with school in full swing and stacking senior-year responsibilities, Cho held another supply drive in mid-August with Girls Run Orlando, a local women’s running club. And she’s far from done: Next on her list is forming a youth advisory board, which is currently accepting applications from high school–aged kids.
“Everyone’s so supportive, truly. My friends, my teachers, they just want to support me and help me in any way,” Cho said, “which is part of why I’m so excited to have a youth advisory board — to give kids that are interested in addressing taboo subjects an opportunity to do that, and to feel like they’re making a change in something that’s important.”
