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.

    I lost $120,000 in a USDT investment scam. Someone I met online gained my trust over time and convinced me to invest on a trading platform that looked completely legitimate. When I tried to withdraw my money, the platform vanished overnight. My account was locked, and I was left devastated. Local authorities told me nothing could be done because crypto transactions are anonymous.
    I almost gave up until I found 5ISPYHAK. Their team explained that while crypto is pseudonymous, every transaction leaves a permanent trail on the blockchain. They started tracing my USDT immediately as the scammers moved it through multiple wallets trying to hide it. The team tracked every transaction and discovered my funds were still sitting in specific wallets that had not been cashed out.
    They compiled evidence and worked with law enforcement to contact Tether, the company that issues USDT. Because Tether has the power to freeze assets, they freeze the fraudulent wallets containing my funds. Through the legal process, my full $120,000 was recovered and returned to me.

    If you have been scammed, contact them immediately. Time is critical.

    My Recovery Journey With Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery

    Getting scammed online didn’t just affect me financially — it also made it hard for me to trust people again. After what happened, I was scared of being deceived a second time and became very cautious about anyone offering help. Eventually, I decided to contact Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery, and their professionalism immediately stood out. They were honest, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly without making false promises. Throughout the process, they kept me informed and handled my situation with care and transparency. Thankfully, they helped me recover a significant part of my lost funds, and that gave me both relief and peace of mind. I’m truly grateful for their support, honesty, and dedication during such a difficult time.
