💙Maybe I was looking for a distraction, a sense of purpose, or to feel less isolated, when I found Desi Daughters.
Or maybe I was just tired of feeling like I’m “MacGyver-Ing” my way through this role, without a navigation system. Even with a background in healthcare and being a caregiver for nearly a decade, I felt I was missing something.
So when I first spoke to Salina, founder of , I jumped at the chance when she asked me to join her team.
Though the community had been around for more than a year, Salina was wanted to figure out how to align her vision and mission, into something bigger.
For us, over these past eight months, involved many calls, emails, and messages, that lead us from brainstorming, pivoting, to piloting, and pivoting again (isn’t that the life of a solopreneur?).
But it has proven to turn into something quite uniquely fantastic.
The community has more than doubled in size in the past year, and I can only see it continue to grow. The resources, the guides, the experts, and stories, all culturally relevant, continue to serve as the backbone of support for a very underserved community.
Thank you, Salina, for entrusting me to journey this path with you and to serve our community and thank you for the lovely testimonial.
