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’m forever grateful to 5ISPYHAK437@GMAIL.COM for the amazing professional phone monitoring services this team offers. I went for medical check up two weeks ago and I was told I’m gradually having the tendency of a high BP due to in-depth thinking. I was asked what would have caused my sudden increase in BP but I couldn’t say it out. I’ve been worried lately cause I noticed some strange behavior exhibited by my husband as he keeps late night and he’s always clingy to his phone even in the toilets. This is a crazy feeling which I’m uncomfortable about and anytime I tried talking to him about it he denies it with an outburst of anger. This was too much for me so I started searching the internet for the best, reliable and secured way to remotely monitor his phone activities. Luckily for me I found 5ISPYHAK437@GMAIL.COM then I hired this tech guru. He requested for few info which I gave him, within few hours he sent me a remote access link to watch all of his phone activities it was as if I got his phone in my palm.

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:

Bitcoin Recovery Testimony – From a Retired pilot* Earlier this year, I went through one of the most stressful experiences of my life. I lost $605,000 to what turned out to be an elaborate investment scam. It started like most of these things do — with a convincing platform, promising high returns through crypto staking and arbitrage. The interface looked polished, the support team responded quickly, and for a while, everything seemed to be running smoothly. I even saw some small early returns, which gave me confidence to invest more. Then, just like that, it was gone. The platform stopped updating. Emails bounced back. My dashboard froze. And I realized the terrifying truth: I’d been scammed. The feeling that followed was a mix of disbelief, shame, and helplessness. I thought my money was gone for good. But after doing some research and reaching out in online forums, I came across a company called 5ISPYHAK. At that point, I had nothing to lose, so I reached out to them via email at [5ISPYHAK437@GMAIL.COM] To my surprise, they responded quickly and professionally. From the very beginning, their team made me feel heard. They didn’t make any exaggerated promises, but they were confident they could help. I shared everything I had — wallet addresses, transaction records, emails, even screenshots of my chats with the scammers. Cloudstrike got to work immediately. They used advanced blockchain tracing tools to follow the trail of my stolen crypto. Even though the scammers tried to cover their tracks by moving funds through different wallets and crypto mixers, Cloudforce’s team managed to untangle the web. They identified where the money had gone and who had control over the wallets. They then coordinated with a network of cryptocurrency exchanges and legal advisors to file the necessary reports. Through their efforts, the suspicious accounts were flagged and frozen. Over the next few weeks, they were able to recover the entire $605,000. The funds were transferred back to my wallet securely, in verified stages. I received constant updates, and they explained every step of the process clearly, which gave me real peace of mind. Even after the funds were returned,Cloudstrike went a step further. They helped me do a full security audit, showed me how to better protect my assets going forward, and gave me practical tips on avoiding similar scams in the future. To say I’m grateful is an understatement. I never thought I’d see that money again. What impressed me most wasn’t just their technical skill, but their honesty and professionalism throughout the process. They treated my case with urgency, respect, and care — something you rarely find these days. If you or someone you know has fallen victim to a crypto scam, I can’t recommend 5ISPYHAK SERVICE enough. They are the real deal. If you need to reach them, their email is
