Mak, a proudly Cuban woman who arrived in the United States 10 years ago, started her entrepreneurial journey out of a moment of necessity and faith.. “Never underestimate the power of your dreams because when you pursue them with determination, success becomes inevitable,” Mak shares. With a life marked by the challenges of balancing work and family, she faced the harsh reality of being the sole breadwinner after her divorce. While working for two companies and considering driving for a platform, a prayer gave her the clarity she needed: to invest in her future and her community. That decision marked the beginning of a path filled with resilience and opportunities.

Rae’s modeling career started at the age of 12, an experience that allowed her to develop a deep appreciation for the transformative power of fashion. "I love how a single piece of jewelry can make us feel beautiful, but also elevate any outfit," Rae shares.
