Xenia Ambatzoglou
Cofounder/Creative Director of 1988
"We want the brand to be about wearing a reminder of how far we’ve come—and an emblem of how much further we can go. Our brand is about bridging the past with the future, honoring the women who paved the way, and standing alongside those still pushing for change. This isn’t just a clothing line; it’s a statement."
Shanita Perdomo
Executive Director of Yes, M.I.S.S. Inc.
"After my mother passed away from AIDS, I found guidance from the women around me. Teachers, mentors, and community leaders stepped in and taught me how to advocate for myself and grow into womanhood with resilience and grace. Those women inspired me to become a woman who empowers others."
Alicia M. Bocek, DVM
DVM/Owner of Day Hollow Animal Hospital
"The journey to ownership was challenging, as I faced many years of self-doubt. As a woman, I questioned whether I could succeed and be effective in this role... Becoming a mother at 40 may have ignited the confidence necessary to take this leap of faith. I realized that if I could handle motherhood, then anything was possible."
