Transcript:
Jen: Welcome to “MomCave LIVE,” where we may have lost our minds but we haven’t lost our senses of humor. I’m Jen from “MomCave,” and my guest this week is Tiffany Hamilton, who I’m gonna call a “mompreneur.” Is that how you would pronounce it?
Tiffany Hamilton: Yes.
Jen: A mompreneur. She is the founder and CEO of Victor Wear, and it’s an amazing company. We’re gonna talk all about her mission and why it’s important. Welcome, Tiffany.
Tiffany Hamilton: Oh, thank you. Thanks so much for having me. Happy to be here.
Jen: Thanks for being here and dealing with all of the technical issues that we always seem to have
Tiffany Hamilton: No worries.
Inspirational Activewear
Jen: Tiffany, can you tell everybody how the idea for your company came about?
Tiffany Hamilton: Yes, so I’m actually the co-founder. My son is actually a founder. He is 15, he has high functioning autism, and this is an idea that we’ve had for a while. He’s very artistic, so originally we were thinking, “Oh,” you know, “We should do T-shirts with your art,” and he’s kind of grown out of that. And the idea has evolved into inspirational activewear. So it’s something we’ve been planning for a while, and we just decided to just do it.
Jen: Just do it.
Tiffany Hamilton: And launch in April. But the whole idea now is around empowering people with disabilities and really creating economic opportunities. As I mentioned, my son, 15, he’ll actually be 16 very soon, next week.
Jen: Wow.
Creating Opportunities For Teens And Adults With Autism
Tiffany Hamilton: And yeah, so, you know, getting very close to the working world and I want to create opportunities for him and for other autistic adults and teens because the unemployment rate in the disability community is really staggering. Like there’s, you know, 85% of people with developmental disabilities are unemployed.
Jen: Wow.
Tiffany Hamilton: And I don’t want that to be my son. That shouldn’t be anyone. It infuriates me...
