Dominique: Glad to be with you, Spiffy! Lightly is dedicated to alleviating stress for parents traveling with toddlers and infants. We believe that no matter where you are or where you go, humans need access to basic sanitary products, our tiny humans included. Parents should no longer have to compromise on the quality of hygienic essentials while away from home.
Niall: Glad to chat with you, Spiffy! Through my work, I aim to challenge society's perception of people with an intellectual disability. I started drawing images of football stadiums during the global pandemic to raise funds for Special Olympics Great Britain (SOGB) and found that I had engaged lots of people with my art. The idea for setting up a social enterprise came as a collaboration between myself and SOGB. This not only gave me the opportunity to work and earn money as an artist, but also to give voice to people like myself who are not seen as capable. People assume a lot about me without talking to me and getting to know who I really am. My business allows me to interact with lots of different people through social media with opportunities to challenge perceptions in a positive way.
Vasyl: Glad to be with you, Spiffy! Easysign is a venture that aims to address the exclusion of the deaf community in society by developing a means for them to be heard easily by everyone. In particular, we are developing a real-time sign language interpreter to ensure accessibility and good service for hard-of-hearing people in public places. We are promoting inclusivity and social awareness about deafness and sign language.
