Sign up with the link in the bio!We ran out of money. After we paid everyone their holiday bonus, we had a hundred bucks in our bank account. That was one of my lowest valleys. When you do a start up you can't just quit your full time job because you have enough money to hold you over for six months. It’s nearly impossible to start that way. What most of us do is start a service company by being a consultant for an already established software business. You’ll work forty hours a week for somebody else, making 200 bucks an hour. You’ll take that paycheck and pay your bills, feed your family, then take the remaining amount and spend it on hardware and the rest of the things you need to build your software. As you get more established, you’ll hire five to six people to build up your services company so you have more money and time to put towards your software, your pending product. Which will then allow you to transition from a service company to a product company. However, once your software is complete and ready, every month it doesn’t take off, you’re burning money. Which is exactly what happened that December. It was an extremely stressful time but I had faith in the software I built with my team. There was no point in giving up now. In January we finally got our big break. We sold the software we were working on to Astute for a reasonable amount of money in addition to becoming part owner. We took it and grew Astute from a 10 million dollar firm to being able to sell it to a private equity buyer for 50 million dollars. A couple of years later, another private equity company came in and we grew it from 50 million to well over 150 million. Hindsight is always 20/20 and I can now reflect on that time with the understanding that a moment of failure, doesn’t define me as unsuccessful. It is an absolute fact that my life is far more filled with valleys than peaks, and I think that I’ve seen every valley there is to see. But I know that the only way I’ll ever see a peak is to have gone through that valley.

I knew I could create this character because I needed her when I was a little girl. I didn’t grow up seeing myself represented in the books I read, and if she had existed, perhaps I wouldn’t have been ashamed of the delicious home-cooked food I brought to school, and the kids around me would have wanted to try it instead of disparaging the way it smelled. I never want a child to feel like they can’t celebrate the things that really make them who they are. Kalamata is a little girl with big hair and a big appetite for adventure. She and her alligator pal, Al Dente, live by the Taste Bud Pledge: “I promise to keep my mind open and my fork ready, to try each new food at least two times, and to share what’s on my plate when someone doesn’t have enough.” This is really about being open-minded enough to try something new because kids who can get over the fear of the unfamiliar by trying a new food will grow up to be more empathetic people. Our mission is growing, with multiple books and an animated series in the works. Creating Kalamata has given me the chance to stand up for myself and our culture. The first book features my mother’s dal recipe. I received opposition from a media opportunity because they did not believe dal was “kid-friendly”. I was nervous I’d lose the piece if I didn’t capitulate. But I thought of the character I was creating, and myself as a little girl. I pushed back, explaining that dal is often the first solid food that Indian babies eat. I said that it was inherently kid-friendly as I, and kids all over the world, ate it all the time growing up. They responded that they simply hadn’t thought of it that way before, and we moved forward with it! If we can get kids (and adults!) to think differently about food, perhaps we can create more empathy in the world, too.”

Growing up, I was an awkward 13 year old with thick, bushy, eyebrows and frizzy hair. These were the days before Instagram and Pinterest, so the place to go for beauty and fashion tips were magazines. At 13, I felt frustrated that none of the girls in magazines looked like me or had my features. From there, I knew I wanted to create space in this industry for people like me. But breaking into beauty as a woman of color in the early 2000s wasn’t easy. Even when I was able to get myself in these spaces, there was a magnifying glass on me. I felt like the token brown girl, and I had to prove my credibility by being perfect in both my work and appearance. Once when I was interning at a magazine, I was putting together the images for an article on hairstyles and I noticed that all the images we had were of white women. Remembering my goals as that awkward 13 year old, I found the courage to point it out to my director that we should include more diversity. For context, this was in 2008, but you know what she said to me? “Well, that’s not really something that matters to our readers.” In that moment, I felt a mixture of embarrassment and anger, but mostly, a fire to prove her wrong. Years later, I went from hoping to see someone who looked like me in the magazines to actually being in InStyle Magazine as a beauty editor. Now at Beautyblender, I always speak up and make sure we’re creating diverse content for our audience. When we’re casting, we make sure that every person feels like they can see themselves in our content in a way that celebrates different identities. Now that I have a daughter, I don’t ever want her to feel the way I did at 13. I’m teaching her to embrace her unique features and love her beautiful brown skin. I’m so happy that she gets to grow up in a world where the things that make her special are represented in beauty and media. Funny enough, the thing I was once the most insecure about is now what I’m most complimented on- my thick, bushy, eyebrows.”

But, if we can change it then we will work our asses off until we do. In a way, this was how I founded Stride Funding. When I was a graduate student doing my MBA at Harvard, I was stressed out by the sticker price on student loans and realized my peers were in the same boat. I asked myself that important question… can I change this? Around that time, I became fascinated by outcomes-based funding products - an idea that dates back to the days of Milton Friedman. Basically, it aligns the cost and value of education by tying payments to earnings. I had a vision of how to create a better ecosystem that connects students, schools, and investors. The gears started turning and I started talking to anyone that would listen. I wanted to know whether my idea was crazy. Could it work? The first step is understanding the problem you are trying to solve. So I hopped from college campus to campus and asked students 'Hey, do you have a minute to talk about how you pay for school?' Using these insights as my guide, I created Stride Funding. In my new model, students aren’t burdened with socioeconomic constraints like needing a cosigner or FICO cutoffs like most loans - we are focused on where students are going, not where they came from. Traditional credit requirements limit access to minorities and underrepresented populations. Instead, we focus on what students have more control over. The early days of starting Stride required really rolling my sleeves up and wearing many hats I did hundreds of student calls - I can still tell you each by their name, their school, and their background because their stories meant so much to me - it was the fuel to keep going. Luckily, it's not just me anymore. The team and vision have also grown since! We have 30 amazing humans on our team now and are just getting started!
