My mom believed I should start my own business, partly because I'm dyslexic, and she knew I had a gift for ideation, and that working in a rigid, man's corporate structure world might crush my creativity.
She was right.
When I opened Brown Eyed Girl, I wrote a mission statement that still guides me today.
I expanded from selling bridesmaids' dresses to full bridal salon in 2012 during a moment in time when marriage equality became the law of the land.
Watching that shift happen in real time was incredibly powerful.
Today, with the Barcode, the mission continues to evolve.
It's ultimately about raising the bar for creativity, entrepreneurship, co-creation, and community.
especially on Sacramento Street.
Thank you.
Thank you.
So proud of you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, Board of Supervisors, and happy International Women's History Month.
to everyone, to all the women supervisors.
This is also a great event to commemorate Our Parent Voices' 30th anniversary year.
That goes without saying, I'm a founding organizer.
I'm glad I'm witnessing this while I'm still alive, because the last time I was here was a commendation for Pat Sullivan, and I honor all the women
child care warriors who I stand on their shoulders, Rosie Kennedy, Pat Sullivan, Carol Stevenson, Patty Siegel, the founder of Children's Council and Parent Voices, and someone who is still very much alive, who was also my mentor as Parent Voices advocate for youth, Margaret Brodkin.
And all the Parent Voice leaders who are here behind me today, thank you for this very thoughtful and inspiring commendation.
