189. Motherhood, DS Advocacy, and Selling Funky Hawaiian Shirts (ft. Holly Simon, 21 Pineapples Shirt Co.)

Holly Simon is a mama on an advocacy mission.. all because of her son Nate, who was born with Down syndrome almost 20 years ago! Now, he’s the CEO of 21 Pineapples, a t-shirt company that’s changing the world, one Hawaiian shirt at a time. And though Nate is the face of 21 Pineapples, Holly’s goal is to use this opportunity to support the WHOLE disabilities community.. with creative employment opportunities and fierce advocacy for everyone. We love Holly’s energy and we’re so excited to chat with her all about what it takes to sell 2 million t-shirts, how to prepare your loved one with DS for life after high school, and why you shouldn’t believe everything you see on social media. We’re also taking a moment to appreciate the magic our loved ones with Down syndrome bring to our everyday lives. We truly are #theluckyfew. Enjoy the episode, friends!
