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.

How to Recover Stolen Cryptocurrency – “Hire a Hacker” Crypto Scam Recovery#POSITIVEREVIEWONCRYPTORECOVERY.
After much deliberation on how to invest my recent work benefits, it’s like these scammers know when you are vulnerable. I was reached out to via IG about a crypto investment program by a so-called page called “Cryptfx_Trader.” They forced a Ponzi scheme down my throat, and out of my ignorance, I fell for their tricks. I am a senior citizen who wants to leave a good legacy for my grandkids, and investing in crypto was the best thing to do, and Bitcoin is the future; that’s what those scammers persuade me with. I believed in them as they were organized, and we usually talked for hours. I gave them all my benefits via multiple transfers to 3 different wallets. It’s been months, and there has been no positive outcome from this investment, despite its intended purpose. I want to back out, but my account has been hijacked, and my funds have been restricted. Disrupted, I sought out looking for help to get back all my lost investment. It was a tussle getting the best crypto recovery expert. I finally found DUNENECTARTWEBEXPERT, fortunately, they were the answer to my prayers. I engaged in their services, and a well-guided recovery process was what I welcomed.
