What words of wisdom or advice do you live by?

The company I’ve built is all about the words we live by. We wear them right on our wrist and, any time we need a little reminder, we can look right down at these words and continue the work we are constantly doing to be more kind humans. The words “querer es poder” have always spoken to me. As I began building Little Words Project in the beginning stages, my mother always would say this as a reminder that if you believe it, you can achieve it. I live by this. I know I can do anything I put my mind to if I believe I can. The belief I have in myself has gotten me through everything in my life and gotten me to where I am today with the growth of Little Words Project.

How did you discover your passion for what you do, and what opportunities have helped shape your career?

I knew from a young age that kindness was something I was passionate about. I was bullied throughout my entire life at different stages and discovering that I had the ability to eradicate cruelty through the bracelets I create felt necessary as it really spoke to my own life experiences. As my vision became my passion, I began to realize how many lives I could affect with this brand, which went much deeper than the bracelets themselves, but the knowledge that if you wear a Little Words Project bracelet, you are a kind person, you try your best every single day and you live by the words within our mission. Experiencing cruelty from women my entire life revealed to me that there is something missing among us that these tiny bracelets help to create . . . a reminder of self-love and kindness.
