Each week Christine and Salt interview the Badass Woman of the Week, a feature that aims to reward women who have overcome a challenge and emerged stronger as a result. Each Badass Woman wins an empowering B Badass bracelet from The Power to B and is featured on-air Fridays at 7:15 A.M. with Christine and Salt in the morning.
This week's honoree is Dominique Ortiz of Derby. Ortiz is a wife, Mom to 3 year old twin girls (after struggling with fertility) and an entrepreneur who created Krafty Pineapple Creations. Dominique says she mainly created Krafty Pineapple as a way to feel more like herself after losing some of her identity to motherhood. But fate had other ideas — her husband was laid off during the pandemic, so Dominique had to turn her fun crafty business into one that fully supports the family. And you know what? Girlfriend did it. How? Well, by answering emails at 2am and by relying on family when she needed to get work done. Happily, her hubby is fully employed again and their adorable twin girls are out of mom's hair a wee bit now, as they are in pre-school. Heeeeeeeeh. (That's the sound of Dominique actually breathing, lol.)
Congratulations Dominique! You have turned your obstacles into opportunities and we — along with The Power To B — celebrate you. Check out Dominique's interview with Christine and Salt below and don't forget to enter your favorite badass (yourself included) in the Badass Woman of the Week.
