Over the years, we have consistently been blown away by the examples of generosity we’ve witnessed from our community of creatives and entrepreneurs. We asked some of them to open up to us about where they think their generosity comes from.

Miranda Derossi

My generosity comes from gratitude. I am quite a sentimental person, and I’ve gathered over the years a collection of just about everything anyone’s ever given me that was handmade, or unexpected, or lovingly specific– anything from little sketches to letters and notes to plastic dinosaurs. These objects store for me the warmth and wonder of being thought of for no reason other than affection.  Read More>>

My generosity comes from my family. I was taught growing up that you should always leave a place better than you found it, and to always uplift those who need extra support. Regardless of who you are or where you come from, we all need each other. I try to always give more than I get and create a more positive environment whenever I can. Read More>>

My generosity comes from a belief that nothing is owed to me, but much has been given. So many people have believed in my vision and have invested in me throughout my journey. I’ve had mentors who taught me, friends who supported me, and most importantly – an incredible community that has received me enthusiastically and continues to invest in the bookstore’s success.

I believe my generosity comes from a few things.

1. Not having much growing up, though my parents did what they could to give me the best they had.
2. I feel its our humanly duty to help others that are without. Whether its financially if we’re able or by sharing helpful knowledge.
3. I also feel that no matter how far we grow in life, we should always give back to others. Read More>>

Being generous is something I truly love. Whether it’s giving a family going through a hard time a free photo session or doing a small kind act, it always feels good to give back. When my daughter was diagnosed with cancer, our family faced one of the toughest times in our lives. But the kindness and support we got from our community was amazing and full of heart. Even in those hard moments, I knew so many people cared and wanted to help however they could. Read More>>

As the founder of Superhairpieces, my generosity stems from two fundamental places: gratitude and responsibility.

I came to this industry understanding that hair is deeply personal—it’s tied to identity, confidence, and dignity. Seeing how our products positively impact people’s lives has always been humbling. Whether it’s someone regaining their self-esteem or simply feeling like themselves again, these stories remind me that what we do matters.  Read More>>
