I grew up with a language based learning disability and throughout my life, I faced challenges, especially in the classroom. Although I had a great supportive family and caring teachers, I found myself lacking confidence in different situations. Along the way, I realized that many women lack self-confidence, just like me. As I got older, I found confidence came from experiences, big and small: from living away from home to graduating from college to getting my first job. And, throughout it all, I found inspirational quotes and phrases helped to provide additional support.

For the past eight years, I have worked with special needs children and seen the difficulties that these kids face daily. And, funny how I see with them, what I saw with me. The Parallel Connection, inspired by my life journey and my unique experiences is my way of giving back. A portion of our profits will be donated to www.understood.org which supports kids with learning disabilities and their families.

Our hope is that The Parallel Connection leggings will add individuality, inspiration and style to your legging wardrobe. You will feel great about yourself and be encouraged to “dare to dream”.
