01 — The founder
I'm a mom. I'm also neurodivergent, which means I spent a long time being the person in the room who couldn't explain what was wrong in a way anyone could use.
Brooks Band started at my kitchen table, with a child who couldn't explain what was hurting and a mother who could see it anyway. I built the thing I couldn't find — a way to show how a day actually went, in words the people around you can act on.
Everything since — the studies, the filings, the pilots — came out of that. I'm still the one answering the email.
