6 years in business

6 years in business means that we have pivoted many, many times in order to be here. I am not going to lie, there were days when I was ready to close our doors. Even this year, the idea of being a full-time mom and running MIGA seemed daunting and outright impossible to do. But here we are. 

There have been many iterations of MIGA. First there was MIGA, which was custom-made to our volunteers and condition-specific. That was our first collection, inspired by burn survivors that we funded through our 2018 Kickstarter. Second, we had the collection where I worked closely with 5 women who all had very different diagnoses, from ulcerative colitis to acne inversa, to tell their stories through design and in the canvas bags that come with each suit. For this collection, we produced upwards of 800 units which were ready by the time we were in COVID. You can imagine how difficult it was as a small business to finally be in stock when the whole world was shut down with no vacation insight. 

Last year, we did the ally collection, a push to create swimsuits that appealed to a greater audience as a way to continue to raise awareness about the disability community while combating ableism. If we weren’t so steadfast to our mission we would not be here. 

What I have learned is that a good product will sell. A product has to appeal to the customer through the eye first, our bright neon pink Ally bikini top comes to mind. Then, everything else falls into place. One of our biggest pivots was when we realized our brand needed to target the mass market in order to fulfill our mission to combat ableism. I do not need to tell members of the disability community about the horrors of ableism, they know them too well. I need to engage with those that do not know how inaccessible our world is in order to fulfill our mission. 

I never thought I would move away from a direct to consumer model to working with retailers like Target and Macy’s. I thought that in order to have a big impact I could do it all by myself and I was wrong. As a small business it is nearly impossible to get eye balls for a reasonable price, Google and Facebook are cost prohibitive, especially during the pandemic. So here we are working with two partners that we believe Can and will take our business to the next level. My therapist recently said that we are in expansion mode. And although I still cannot believe it, that is where we are today.

    All you need is to hire an expert to help you accomplish that. If there’s any need to spy on your partner’s phone. From my experience I lacked evidence to confront my husband on my suspicion on his infidelity, until I came across REALCYBERHACKERS which many commend him of assisting them in their spying mission. So I contacted him and he provided me with access into his phone to view all text messages, call logs, WhatsApp messages and even her location. This evidence helped me move him off my life . I recommend you consult REALCYBERHACKERS AT gmail com or whatsapp +14106350697 if you need access to your partner’s phone or any kind of hacking, they carry out all kinds of hacking job

    Romance Scam on WhatsApp – Sydney, Australia I never thought I’d fall for a romance scam. A woman I met on WhatsApp claimed to be a crypto trader with “inside connections.” She slowly gained my trust, asking about my dreams and struggles. Then she suggested I invest through her platform. Over three months, I transferred $142,000 in USDT and ETH into what I believed was a joint investment account. The dashboard showed incredible returns, but when I tried to withdraw, the site blocked me and demanded another $20,000 “unlock fee.” That’s when I realized I’d been conned. I felt humiliated, but I reached out to RIGHTWAYLAWRECOVERY COMPANY. Their forensic team requested my wallet addresses, transaction hashes, and screenshots of the fake platform. Within hours, they confirmed it was part of a larger scam ring that had targeted Australians. Through blockchain triangulation, they traced my funds across multiple exchanges. Within four weeks, $87,000 was successfully recovered. If you’ve been caught in a romance scam, don’t stay silent. Open a case at RIGHTWAYLAWRECOVERYSERVICE@GMAIL.COM or contact their 24/7 support immediately.

    Hacking into the mobile phone of a cheating spouse. This type of hack helps you track every movement of your cheater as they are bent on helping you gain full remote access into the cheater’s mobile phone using a Trojan breach cracking system to penetrate their social media platforms like Facebook, whatsapp, snapchat etc. This spy processing is used via an HDSI folder which synchronizes the target mobile operating system into a clone S-Drive unit. Recovery of lost funds: It saddens our mind when a client expresses annoyance or dissatisfaction of unethical behaviours of scammers. The cyber security technique used to retrieve back the victims stolen funds is the application of a diverse intercall XX breacher software that enables you to track the data location of a scammer. Extracting every information on the con database, every requested information required by the 5ISPYHAK would be used to track every transaction, time and location of the scammer using this systematic courier tracking base method.
