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 wanted to know how to track my partiner phone without her knowing and was pleasantly surprised to reach out to 5ISPYHAK. It is a great hacker for tracking devices. He built a spy app for me that enables me to trace her phone activities without her ever knowing. I highly recommend the services to anyone who needs to keep track of their spouse or loved ones. The user interface is very easy to use and understand. It allows me to view all of my wife’s activities on the target device, location tracking, and other features such as social media account monitoring. This hacker has saved me a lot of time and worry in knowing that I can keep tabs on her without her ever knowing. Highly recommend his services to anyone who needs his services.

Just after I had lost 1.3BTC to a scam investment platform, I started searching for a legitimate crypto recovery agent that could help me recover my funds from the hands of the scammers. During this process, I was scammed of about $8K by fake agents who claimed to be legitimate. I just gave up and lost all hope of ever recovering my lost bitcoin. However, thanks to a blog comment I read on Forbes that recommended a trusted recovery agency called zarchxbt, I immediately contacted them and provided all the transaction records, and they told me they had started the investigation and recovery. It took about 2 weeks, and all my coins were sent back to my wallet. The best thing is that this recovery agency doesn’t ask for an upfront fee; they take payment from the funds recovered. I really appreciate their work and I recommend them to anyone in need of a crypto recovery agent. You can contact them via e-mail at (zarchxbt@gmailcom).
