Sunnie
Sunnie Co-Founders Katy Tucker and Lisette Howard are really into food. You might say that their friendship simmered over their mutual love of all things culinary. Both love cooking—especially for their families—yet both utterly loathe packing lunches. When it came to their kids’ lunches, each day felt like climbing a mountain. Some days, they’d make it to the summit and other days—most days—well, they didn’t. See why we love their snacks here.
BUMO
Chriselle Lim and Joan Nguyen created BÜMO ("parents" in Korean) to help millennial and Gen-Z parents streamline their lives, work on advancing their careers and find support from like-minded parents. It started with an idea for a co-working and child care space for parents has morphed into a support system and more.
