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.

Did you suffer losses from the CanCap Crypto investment scam?
Sadly, I was a victim of this CanCap crypto investment scam, and I lost $757,000 worth of crypto in 24 hours. I saw an article about CanCap Crypto on Facebook, supposedly endorsed by then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. I was deceived into believing I could invest in this scheme, but I ended up losing all my money. Not a while later, I found out that I was being scammed when I saw the news about the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) warnings about the CanCap Crypto investment scam. I was left wondering what had happened and how I could recover my money. A friend who works for the government of Alberta told me about Morphohack Cyber Service, which is a resourceful crypto recovery company. I contacted Morphohack Cyber Service, who had already received several other requests to investigate and recover crypto from the same scam, while I was still in doubt if it could be done, Morphohack was able to recover my crypto investments from CanCap within 48 hours later. In light of the situation, I fully recommend the service of Morphohack Cyber Service while I encourage everyone out there to be careful of their crypto investments or seek help from a reputable and trustworthy source.

I really think the crypto investment community isn’t doing enough to combat the high rising rate of online investment scams currently flooding the crypto space. I fell victim for this notorious scams after I tried investing in an alleged crypto investment platform. Apparently, I thought they where a legit investment platform but I later got to find out the hard way after they kept asking for more money before I could withdraw out my investment profit.
After I had paid more than enough to withdraw my profit of $180k, I soon started suspecting that this payment was not ending soon and so I concluded that they where scammers. I felt really down because I had poured in all my savings into this investment idea I thought will give me a higher returns. I quickly started looking online for a legit investment recovery agent who could help, then I saw a comment about a firm called RecoveryHacker101@gmailcom, who specialises in crypto recovery. I quickly contacted them and provided relevant information about all the transaction I had done with the scammers.
In short I was able to retrieve $145k back. Though, I wasn’t about to get back the full $180k, but at least I was able to recover back $145k with the help of RecoveryHacker101. I honestly want to say a big thank you to the team that put their time and expertise so I could recover back my stolen bitcoin. Therefore, I am using this medium to recommend recoveryhacker101 to anyone looking to recover back their lost cryptocurrency. You can reach them via RECOVERHACKER101@GMAILCOM
I was quite unfortunate to be a victim of the “Gainbitcoin scam”.
So gullible to believe them and lost literally my life savings.
Life hadn’t been the same since I lost such huge sum of 23.2 million indian Rupees to the platform.
My whole life came to total standstill and life became so terrible from the disheartening event.
Last year, while i was on vacation in United Arab Emirates; at my hotel balcony in Dubai doing some research online.
That was when I miraculously came across TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY from Google reviews. Cos I’d never believe it was possible to recover stolen funds from such platform.
At first I was skeptical as once bitten twice shy.
But luckily enough after contacting them. I provided them with the necessary informations as requested.
TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY worked tirelessly to retrieved my funds within 4 days and their expertise was evident every step of the way.
I strongly recommend TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY to anyone going through similar situation.
Jason one of their recovery team leader was a top guy. He was always assuring me of a positive outcome.
