Ladies, we’ve come to the final day of our Women Making History series. We hope you’ve enjoyed reading about the outstanding ladies who are “making history�? in their respective fields, as much as we’ve enjoyed featuring them.
We couldn’t think of a better way to end the series than to have our founding members, Liz “Busy Lady�? Baca and Gabriella “Mama�? Davi-Khorasanee share their stories of how M.I.S.S. Crew came about!
Gabriella’s up first:
“Though Mama’s International Secret Society started in 2006, I had been playing around with the idea for about a year before the thoughts came to fruition. I had been in the industry for about four years and I was frustrated with how much of a “boys club�? it was. I knew there were plenty of women in the biz, but that they weren’t getting the shine that the boys were. I wanted to create a forum for the ladies to get together and share experiences and ideas and also create a media outlet to give women’s product the attention that it was not getting on men’s-focused online platforms. The ladies often get hit with a bad sterotype of tearing each other down and I wanted to prove that sterotype wrong. Strength in numbers! I knew that M.I.S.S. was a large undertaking, and if done right, would be bigger than I could handle so I asked Liz Baca, of The Goods!, if it was something that she wanted to work on with me. When I told her the idea she was down from the start.�?
After the jump, Gabriella concludes her back-story on M.I.S.S. Crew and shares a little about herself. Liz follows this with her story, along with pictures to share! JUMP!
