Founder story
MOUDRO was born from my own lived experience. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis while building my career. And I was afraid that telling the truth would make me seem fragile or unreliable - a burden. So I carried it quietly and kept pushing forward. For years, I also hid another part of myself. I lived closeted, afraid that being open about being a lesbian would change how I was seen. I learned to edit myself to feel safe. To belong. Stepping into leadership did not remove those fears. I still have moments of self doubt. I still have good days and bad days. I am still learning. What I know now is this: I am perfect in my imperfections. Self acceptance and self love are not destinations - they are daily practices. Some days feel strong. Some days feel heavy. Both are part of the journey. MOUDRO exists to create space where we don't have to hide in order to belong. There is no single right path. There is only the courage to begin - and to begin again.
