WHO I AM (from our Founder)
I moved quite frequently growing up. Before my mother passed, I remember continuously being in transition from multiple apartments, parts of the city, and later schools. After her funeral, I lived in motels, with relatives, and short-term rentals every now and again with my father suffering from schizophrenia and addiction. After his incarceration, at 16, my grandmother gained custody of my sisters and I and moved us again. My experience with multiple different spaces (with the trauma and joy such spaces can create) informed my decision to pursue creating purpose within the home goods industry space. My family background of poverty and dysfunction is what inspired me to create a philosophy of giving back.
The gifts are given to me by God. My creativity, visual and written artistry, and imagination formed DALIET.
