THE WOMAN BEHIND THE BRAND
At first glance, you see the sassy, Über stylish, editor, trend expert, designer and all around magic maker with her signature pixie cut and effervescent smile but there is so much more to her than that. Mimi G. is a mother of four, a daughter, friend and champion of women but before that, she was a victim of sexual abuse as a child, teen runaway, homeless teenaged mother, and a domestic violence survivor.
One could go on about the list of trials Mimi has faced in her life, but the story of Mimi is not in her challenges, it is instead in her triumphs. Despite her humble and challenging beginnings, Mimi has emerged as the premier DIY and lifestyle blogger and a beacon of inspiration to women and men alike.
Mimi first began blogging as a way to keep a personal journal of her sewing projects. In a short six years, Mimi’s business “Mimi G Style, Inc.” has become the vehicle by which she lives her passion; to empower and motivate people of all ages and walks of life to embrace their power, find their voice and to discover and walk in their purpose.
Mimi G Style is more than a brand it has become a mission. Mimi’s global appeal reaches women and men in places near and far. She has been credited with helping women regain their confidence, improve their self-esteem, get their sexy back and save their lives. Mimi’s blog epitomizes what she is about and why she is so loved. She is honest, she is humble, she is real, and she is generous. That combination is rare, and it inspires loyalty and restores faith that people do still care, that dreams do come true and that where you begin doesn’t have to dictate where you end.
