<div>Hi, my name is Mashai.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m a mother of three, a doula, and a community organizer based in Baltimore. My work centers on supporting families—especially Black families—through healing, storytelling, and creating resources that help us navigate stress, separation, and rebuilding.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was recently selected by Canva to attend Canva Create 2026 (out of thousands of applicants), and I’ll be documenting the full journey—from preparation to in-person experience in LA.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m currently partnering with a small number of aligned brands to support travel, accommodations, and storytelling production for this experience.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For me, this is more than just an event—it’s a turning point.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m building a journey called “Following the Sun,” where I’m choosing joy, growth, and expansion not just for myself, but for my children and the families I serve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through this experience, I’ll be able to create more impactful tools, content, and resources that support real families in real ways.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, the only thing standing in the way is travel and lodging.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m raising funds to cover:
</div>
<div>• Flights
</div>
<div>• Safe and comfortable lodging for me and my children
</div>
<div>• Transportation and basic travel needs
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution helps move this vision forward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’ve ever believed in my work, been impacted by what I do, or simply want to support a mother creating something meaningful for her children and community—I would truly appreciate your support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re not able to give, sharing this means just as much.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re following the sun ☀️
