Meet Natalia, the namesake behind our new Triple Threat™ Color Stick shade in Warm Tangerine Matte!
Natalia is a Case Manager at The Maui Farm, one of our incredible Giving Partners! Her journey with The Maui Farm is a profound testament of resilience and hope. As a survivor of domestic abuse, she and her daughters found refuge in the community fostered in the Family Strengthening Program and transitional housing offered by The Maui Farm. While at the farm, Natalia overcame many challenges, including but not limited to, progressing in her career goals, achieving self-sufficiency and securing independent housing.
A year and a half later, Natalia returned to The Maui Farm, this time as a staff member! Natalia actively contributes to improving programs and services, ensuring they meet the needs of women and children served by The Maui Farm. Natalia's calm and thoughtful demeanor fosters a welcoming atmosphere crucial for healing and growth. As a living success story, she inspires both colleagues and program participants alike, validating the dedication of The Maui Farm's team and offering hope to those facing similar challenges.
The Maui Farm provides farm-based, family-centered programs that teach essential life skills. They offer services to single mothers and their children in a safe neighborhood setting, where they are nurtured to develop their full potential.
In 2019, our CEO and Founder, Karissa, had the privilege of visiting The Maui Farm and bringing Thrive Causemetics products for the residents. During her tour, she witnessed firsthand the impactful work being done to uplift and empower women. The Maui Farm's impact extends beyond its programs and outreach efforts. In 2023, amid the challenges posed by a devastating wildfire on Maui, Thrive Causemetics and Bigger Than Beauty Skincare provided a donation of $10,000 in funds to support The Maui Farm's mission. This year, in 2024, Karissa returned to Maui to lead a makeup “Masterclass” for community members, and surprised Natalia with her own Triple Threat™ Color Stick blush namesake!
Through their commitment to community engagement and holistic support, The Maui Farm embodies resilience, hope, and empowerment. By nurturing growth and empowering families, they create a brighter future for individuals facing adversity.
