Carolina you remind me so much of myself over 4 years ago! A strong woman learns to stand up for herself, but a truly powerful woman spends her life standing up for others. Real queens don't compete we kneel down to fix each other's crowns!
And behind every woman who finally makes it, there is a tribe of sisters who refused to let her fall!

Knowing how much pain you are going through and still running your Ashford Freeshop regardless gives me so much strength and pride!

Sometimes when I am very tired and low,
I look at our trainees who signed up to open their own charities and Freeshops and it gives me so much strength and joy.

You girls are my hope and inspiration, what keeps me going daily! Seeing how day by day you become more confident and blossoming is the best gift for me!

Happy birthday to my first ever trainee Carolina! I love you so much darling! My baby Ashford Freeshop mama, you are smashing it girl! I can’t be more proud of what you have accomplished by opening Ashford Freeshop!

Happy birthday to my beautiful Carolina, my powerhouse, my sister by heart and super amazing woman, one of the most extraordinary people I have ever met!

With all my love, Maya ❤️
