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.

    While I was on a call with my wife I heard a mans voice on the background, I asked her she said it was the TV but I was not convinced with what she said so I had to text up my friend who once talked about a hacker he met on the internet that deals on hacking phones. My friend confirmed he has used 5ISPYHAK services once. so I requested for 5ISPYHAK service, after the job was done I had access into my wife’s phone, all applications, call logs, deleted messages and text messages were all accessible without her notice, that was when I cleared my doubt that my wife has been cheating on me, she has been cheating on me for a year now, hooks up with the guy when ever he wants her and I also saw there sex videos they made together right on my wife’s phone, I am indeed heart broken and disappointed. Thank you 5ISPYHAK for your services I really appreciate.

    It’s really terrible for anyone to bear a cheating partner. The best way to handle these suspicions is to do everything in your power to catch them, preferably in the act. My husband was cheating and had always gotten away with it because I did not know how as I was always too scared to pin anything on him. I went in search of a hacker who could break into cell phones without any trace and I ran into a very strong and reliable hacker called 5ISPYHAK I quickly reached out to him to satisfy my curiosity. Within a few minutes I got a response from him asking me which of his services I was interested in. I explained my worries to him. He requested for certain details which I did not hesitate to provide because he promised me his services were a hundred percent satisfactory. Few hours after our initial conversation a notification popped in and it was all the information I wanted. My heart was really broken to find out that my husband was indeed cheating with my sister. I knew that he was cheating but I didn’t know with someone close to me. All thanks to Spytechacker for his services and went on to file for a divorce. email him at: 5ISPYHAK437@GMAIL.COM
