I believe that everyone deserves a life of true freedom, the opportunity set their own rules and to do work that they love.

That’s why I built my business around helping small, self-funded and under-served businesses to succeed, since thriving small businesses is one of the best ways to nurture communities.

Not to mention that it has been proven that when women in particular succeed, they reinvest into their families and communities at much higher rates, helping lift everyone with them.

Marketing, branding and strategy work is a vital investment in business growth that not all who need it have a means to make.

In particular, unfair stigmatization and institutionalized racism towards Black, Indigenous, and People of Color as well as LGBTQI+ communities means that these communities may often have less access to many resources—including professional brand and marketing services—that would help their businesses grow and thus improve lives and communities.

I’m always evaluating how best to address this more directly in my business.

Currently, I’m able to offer payment plans for those who need it, I offer free marketing support for low-income immigrant women entrepreneurs through inclusion organizations in Spain, and I’m exploring the best ways to offer grants or scholarships to address the lack of equitable access.
