A Glimpse Beyond the Giftz 

​

Back in college (about 10 years ago), I would re-up every September for my seasonal department store gig. I loved being a part of that gift-giving holiday experience -but my favorite part of the entire purchase was the gift wrapping at the end. At that point is when I realized I was a gifter, not a giftee – I adore giving gifts to loved ones and wrapping them with a touch of custom.

​

Years later, I’ve graduated from college, pursued a career, and am raising a family. During this last decade of changes within my own life, the world has changed as well, in an interesting, historical and at times even hopeless way. The pandemic, to top it off, has added another perspective to life for me, but in an ironic way, has been a positive one.

​

The conscious decision to start a mobile gift-wrapping business in April 2021 was not just an entrepreneurial opportunity, but a sense of obligation as a strong, powerful woman to lead the way in continuing to spread love and cheer to all, exclusively through the gift of giving; however, the gift of giving requires support. 

​

Give Me Giftz relies heavily on private contributions from the community. As business proceeds and I begin to turn a profit, my short-term goal is to incorporate philanthropy into Give Me Giftz, where we’re gifting communities beyond wrapping.

​

Give Me Giftz has a current GoFundMe campaign as a fundraising platform where those interested in contributing to a growing, local, and women-owned business can do so. By supporting my campaign, you are supporting the local community, endorsing gender equality, and driving Women of Color entrepreneurship.
