    Meet Dana

    Chest Type:  Double Mastectomy with Implant Reconstruction 

    Why did you start AnaOno? 

    "Many things changed after my breast surgery, but the one I did not imagine changing was my underwear drawer. I scoured the globe looking for a bra that would fit, but continued to show up braless. That is when I knew something needed to change. I decided to use my many years of fashion design experience, and (re)design the bras, until I created one that fit my body, that wasn't only comfortable, but also beautiful.

    AnaOno may have been born out of necessity, but today it gives us all a reason to celebrate what makes us different."

    Meet Rebecca

    Chest Type: Au Natural 

    What does it mean to you to work for AnaOno?

    "I absolutely love working at AnaOno. We are a small team, which means that we all work very closely together, which I love. My favorite part about working at AnaOno is knowing that we are helping people in need, which is something that I personally feel really good about. While I was in college, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and it was an extremely scary time for her and my family. Knowing that AnaOno was here for her and helped her through that time really meant so much to me, which was really the main reason why I applied. Seeing firsthand what breast cancer can do to someone you love is hard, so its so comforting knowing that AnaOno was not only here for my mom, but also for everyone else who also has gone through breast cancer."

Women work so hard to take care of others and often struggle with support when it's time to receive care, especially when sick. This lack of care is unfair but not uncommon. I'm happy to be part of a team that normalizes meeting the needs of these women, encouraging rest and above all, healing!"
