Misha’s vibrant hair colors—ranging from deep purple to rainbow hues—carry a personal legacy. In 2015, while caring for her mom through cancer treatments, Misha listened as her mom shared her dream of dyeing her hair purple as a bold expression of joy and playfulness. Sadly, Misha’s mom passed away before she could fulfill that wish. However, Misha now wears those colors as a daily reminder to live vibrantly, break free from judgment, and help others do the same. Her work reflects this philosophy, guiding people to challenge biases, dispel limiting beliefs, and build genuine, meaningful connections in both life and leadership.
