Why did I start Myya?
I started it after my grandmother had breast cancer, because finding a well-fitting post-mastectomy bra is hard.
Myya pairs each customer with a certified mastectomy fitter for a virtual fitting and bills insurance directly, so the shopping process stays simple.
Myya grew out of Cherry Blossom Intimates, the boutique I opened in 2018. Forbes named me to its 30 Under 30 list in Retail and E-Commerce in 2019, and the Washington Business Journal named me to its 40 Under 40 in 2023.
