Being a mother and feeling the constant pull between career and family is so hard. Feelings of guilt and disappointment are excruciating at times. When I started Boxy Girl, my youngest daughter Chloe would ask me every day to quit. She and I would cry, she would beg me to stay home and not to go to work. Now, she is my biggest fan and the one who encourages me to keep pushing forward. She recently asked me that when she grows up, if she could be the CEO of Boxy Girl. She now understands that creating Boxy Girl was not about power, personal gain, or notoriety, it was a deep personal calling. Boxy Girl is my passion and the pathway to connect to something greater than myself.

Boxy Girl has changed me. I am a different woman today because of the opportunities and challenges I’ve faced as a female founder. I am even more passionate about supporting initiatives that empower women and girls to develop their talents and skills so that they can advance their own futures. I believe wholeheartedly, that when women and girls are given the opportunity to realize their personal full potential, our families, businesses, and communities thrive.
