"I didn't create I AM Athena to teach women how to be powerful. I created it to remind them that they already are."
-
From handmade Christmas ornaments to global boardrooms.
I was eight years old when I sold my first product on the street, Christmas ornaments my mother made when we had nothing.
That was the moment I knew: girls like me could create something from nothing.
From Colombia to London to New York, I built businesses, raised a daughter and fought for a different kind of life.
I succeeded by the world's standards but lost connection with myself in the process.
I AM Athena is the return. Not to who I hoped to become but to who I've always been.
-
Empowerment wasn't the answer. Remembering was.
For years I thought if I worked harder, proved more, gave more, I'd finally feel like enough.
But the kind of empowerment the world sells us? It's just another performance.
What I needed wasn't to become stronger.
I needed to soften. To pause. To come home.
I AM Athena was born to help women do the same.
