Pamela Delgado is the Founder and CEO of Rawly Bold. What started out as a graphic apparel line has recently shifted into a community on a mission to inspire, motivate and empower - hence the name, Rawly Bold, which was, inspired by being Raw (most authentic form) and to be Bold (unafraid to stand out). She's an LA native & boy mom who has called NYC home for 8 years now. What's inspiring about her story is that she took the plunge into entrepreneurship after learning she was significantly underpaid and just two years after launching she has a community of supportive women who share the same mission to inspire, motivate and empower and gives back to organizations who strive for the well-being of others. Somehow she manages to juggle all her passion projects, mom life, traveling, and her love of food, sports, and wellness.

Cimeran Kapur is the Founder and CEO of Communikind, a new health tech company designed to empower families to be our own best health advocates. She is starting by helping parents build their child's health history from birth so they can securely and selectively share care information with any caregivers when and where needed.

On this episode Melissa and Cimeran discuss what motivated Cimeran to build Communikind and how spending a good portion of her childhood abroad impacted how she viewed public health. Among those things, you'll hear Cimeran discuss her education, her work and how her eventual diagnosis of life-threatening cancer during her MED school training catapulted her to build Communikind - after only coming up with the concept a month before.

Beth is a bold, unapologetic New York City based graphic designer and creative specialist. For the last 8+ years, Beth has made a living from taking your visual communications ideas, desires, and challenges, and turning them into things people truly want to see, read, and interact with.

When she’s not improving the world, one communication at a time, Beth can be found watching her favorite sports teams, playing the drums, cuddling her cat, or building furniture with her boyfriend. One day, maybe in retirement, Beth hopes to make a second living off of those hobbies (especially the cat cuddling part).
