International Women’s Day reminded me why I built MINIANI

“As a child with undiagnosed ADHD, I often felt ‘less than’, not good enough, and often invisible. My confidence grew slowly over time, but I never felt fully at ease. When I was diagnosed as an adult, I felt relief, and grief for that little girl.”

MINIANI is my way of turning that story into something practical and hopeful, a calm, supportive space where a young audience can create, learn step by step, and feel proud of what they make.

Today, I’m celebrating every woman who chooses to begin again, speak kindly to herself, and make space for her own creativity.
