With Love to All the Beautiful Women who have Triumphed over Tragedy

In 1996, I embarked on a journey fueled by passion and purpose, purchasing BambooWomen.com and BambooWomen.org with a vision to empower and uplift women around the world. With a US Trademark secured and an online presence spanning Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Instagram, I was ready to make a difference.

But in 2013, tragedy struck when BambooWomen.com was stolen from me. The thief demanded $3,000 for its return, leaving me devastated and facing a crossroads. Despite having BambooWomen.org as a backup, the loss of my cherished domain dealt a significant blow.

Midst the turmoil, I made the difficult decision to let go of the US Trademark after the loss of my daughter. Grief consumed me, and the dream of Bamboo Women seemed to fade into the background.

However, with time comes healing, and with healing comes forgiveness. It’s time to release the anger and resentment towards the thief and reclaim my vision for Bamboo Women. Though the road may be long and challenging, I refuse to let adversity define me.

BambooWomen.org may have lost visibility in the shadow of a clothing brand bearing the same name, but its spirit remains alive and resilient. With 11 years of age behind it, the website stands as a testament to the perseverance and determination that have always fueled the Bamboo Women movement.

Now, as I stand at the threshold of a new chapter, I am filled with hope and determination. It’s time to write the book that has long been in my heart, sharing the stories of Bamboo Women who have triumphed over adversity and emerged stronger than ever.

But the journey doesn’t end there. It’s time to bring Bamboo Women to life in a whole new way – through the power of television. With the Bamboo Women Joy TV show on Roku, we will shine a spotlight on the resilience, strength, and beauty of women everywhere, inspiring others to thrive through their journeys of empowerment and transformation.

As I look ahead, I am filled with gratitude for the support and encouragement that have carried me through the darkest of times. Together, we will reclaim the dream of Bamboo Women and continue to spread joy, empowerment, and hope to women around the world.

The journey may have been fraught with challenges, but through it all, the spirit of Bamboo Women remains unbroken. And with each step forward, we will rise stronger, wiser, and more resilient than ever before.

JOY!
