SHE IS THE STORY

For years, she felt aloneÂ
in her marriage of over two decades.
Raising two children.Â
Carrying the weight quietly.
And then she chose something different.
She chose to build.
From that place of resilience,Â
she created a company rooted in values-based leadership,
proving that integrity and success can walk hand in hand.
But she didn't stop there.

She founded a nonprofit
for middle school girls,Â
giving them a Shark Tank–style spaceÂ
to believe in their ideas and their voices.
Selling her company wasn’t a finish line.
It was a launchpad.
Today, Katie Inouye Mednick is a force:
🎤 Standing on a TEDx stage.
🚂 Speaking as a railroad industry specialist.
📚 Writing a book.
📱 Launching a spiritual self-care and reflection app.
.

She believes in an abundance mindset,Â
the circle of life, and the responsibility of giving back.
Generous. Fair. Grounded.
Her story is a reminder:
When a woman chooses herself,Â
she doesn’t just rise —
she creates room for others to rise too.
