Today we’d like to introduce you to Michelle Diaz.
Hi Michelle, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I was born and raised in Miami but spent seven years living in New York City from 2013-2020. For the majority of my career, I worked in sales, brand development, product development, and production for established fashion brands. Throughout this time, I had the opportunity to work alongside fast-paced, unapologetic, goal-oriented creatives. I always felt a pull towards creating something of my own, something that could bring wellness to others. However, I wasn’t quite sure what that was or how to achieve it.
It wasn’t until I returned to Miami in 2020 that my vision became clearer. Despite my upbringing in Miami, seven years away is a long time and I had a lot of uncomfortable adjusting to do. Miami is so fun, so sexy and so naked – all the time. It was here that I started to notice how sexualized our culture really is and how normalized it’s become. I recognized that sexual wellness has yet to find a safe space in the aisles of a health store and that the adult category is often expressed in a way that is uncomfortable, intimidating, and even tacky. This is where the concept of Private Invitation was born – a place of sexual wellness where shopping should never feel intimidating. Our platform provides a space to encourage self-love through self-pleasure, without the need for incognito browsing.
I’m Michelle, and I’m excited to bring sexual wellness to the forefront with Private Invitation.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
Starting a small company is never easy, and Private Invitation was no exception. We faced many obstacles and hurdles along the way. However, what has been most rewarding is the support we’ve received and the conversations we’ve been able to have.
Self-pleasure is still a taboo topic for many people, but we’re proud to be creating a safe and open space where individuals can talk about it freely. Hearing people open up to us in ways they normally wouldn’t has been incredibly impactful and motivating, and reinforces the importance of the values behind Private Invitation.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
My strengths lie in sales, brand development, product development, and production, and I draw upon these skills to manage Private Invitation’s e-commerce site, create marketing content, engage with customers, source and develop products, and much more.
One of my defining qualities is my attention to detail. I take great pride in this strength as it enables me to focus and tackle multiple tasks at once. Outside of work, I maintain my creative side by practicing painting and writing, which allows me to stay connected to my passions and interests.
What makes you happy?
I find great joy in contributing to the happiness of others. Knowing that I have positively impacted someone’s life is an incredibly rewarding feeling. Being able to make a difference in the lives of others is one of the most fulfilling experiences and brings me immense happiness.
