Melonie & Yayra, Founders of D.I.G met in their Ph.D. program at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. D.I.G is an idea that was born out of pain, grown through sisterhood, and now will be shared with the world.
When Melonie first talked to Yayra about trying to find stories to help her deal with the passing of her mother they instantly began to share how they oftentimes can't find inspirational stories by everyday women that resonate. They both felt like women especially are often struggling in silence, smiling on the outside but suffering on the inside. They wanted to find a way to bring women together and share their stories of how they prevail.
Both Melonie and Yayra know that women have the power to succeed when others tell them that they will fail. They rise to the occasion time and time again when others might give up. The big question is how do women do it? What they realized is women Discover Inner Greatness and use it to propel them. From there the concept of D.I.G began to grow and they set off to give women an outlet to share their stories and empower other women from around the globe.
