Mimi G is now a mother of four and a champion of women with an empowering and inspiring personal story; a victim of sexual abuse as a child, at 16 years old she found herself homeless as a single mother with a small child fleeing from an abusive relationship. Struggling to survive she bounced from couch to couch until she secured an assistant job and was able to stabilize herself with her daughter. It was at that time that she began blogging about her true passion – sewing / designing clothes. She had a knack for seeing a design on the runway and being able to recreate it herself.

She may not have had the money to buy designer clothes, but her skills enabled her to create a beautiful wardrobe that allowed her to shine in important meetings with no one the wiser. Her blog took off – people were drawn to her hip and cool approach to sewing. In a field where sewing could seem like something "that grandmas do" she was making it fun and exciting. Her blog evolved into her own best-selling patterns which in turn evolved into her own online sewing school. What began as a blog dedicated to her passion has emerged into a full-blown empire.
