As an entrepreneur within the LGBTQIA+ community, I recognized a significant gap in the market through personal experience. Identifying as a lesbian, I encountered difficulties in finding greeting cards that aptly reflected the depth and uniqueness of my relationship with my same-sex partner. This challenge illuminated not only a personal frustration but also a broader, underserved need within our community. Motivated by this experience, I founded Colourful Expressions, a greeting card company dedicated to celebrating love and relationships across the entire spectrum of sexual orientations and gender identities. Our mission is to provide inclusive, heartfelt products that resonate with diverse experiences and expressions of love.
