A note from Marisa
When I started this company, I wanted to create something filled with heart and intention. I wanted to work with women determined to make an impact within their community and their lives.
Everything I do in the world is an extension of my personal journey. I grew up in a household raised by a single mother from Peru, who worked multiple, back breaking jobs to provide us with what she could. I know poverty firsthand and understand the challenges first and second-generation people of color experience. I understand the reality of having to work three times harder to even come close to parity.
I also understand how it feels to look at your life and know that there is more. When I left my six-figure corporate job, all I knew was that if I could be successful without an education, imagine what I could do with one. My journey to UC Berkeley in my thirties wasn’t easy, but it opened a world that I didn’t know existed. That single step pushed me to dream bigger and listen to the gentle whisper inside of myself.
I am fully aware that the process of change isn’t easy and I don’t recommend doing it alone. Reach out to me and let’s start a conversation. I can’t wait to work with you…
