We strive to inspire confidence, competence, and authenticity through fashion. Our goal is to ensure that everyone, regardless of their accessibility needs, can enjoy this empowering experience.

Why accessibility matters

Digital accessibility isnโ€™t just a checkboxโ€”itโ€™s a fundamental right. Millions of people worldwide rely on assistive technologies to access websites. By making our online presence accessible, we create a more equitable experience for all users.

Our switch to Gravity Forms

Our recent transition to Gravity Formsย was a strategic move toward better accessibility. Hereโ€™s how it has strengthened our commitment:

Radio and Checkboxes:

  • Previously, some options werenโ€™t grouped properly for people using screen readers.
  • With Gravity Forms, checkboxes and radio buttons are automatically enclosed in field sets, ensuring a coherent experience.

Form Labels:

  • Missing or orphaned labels were confusing for people using screen readers.
  • Gravity Forms generates associated labels for each form field, enhancing clarity and usability.

As part of our ongoing commitment to accessibility on Global Accessibility Awareness Day, weโ€™re thrilled to share our progress and celebrate the positive impact it has on our world wide web.

Building My Childhood Home In Sims 4

We are a small, 2-person family-owned business operating under a co-CEO structure. Currently, Bri White and Sam Geer are the only official representatives at Vostra Moda. While we value collaboration, we are content with our current size and have no immediate plans for expansion.

Unfortunately, we’ve recently become aware of individuals falsely representing our company online. These impostors have been offering jobs in our name and may have attempted to solicit payments under false pretenses. We want to stress that this is not our business practice.

Anyone claiming to represent Vostra Moda, aside from Bri and Sam, is not affiliated with our company and is falsely claiming to be a team member. If you receive any communication that appears to be from Vostra Moda and seems suspicious, please contact one of us directly to confirm its authenticity.

To safeguard yourself against potential fraud, please keep the following tips in mind:

  • Always verify the authenticity of any payment request directly with known contacts within our organization.
  • Never provide sensitive personal or financial information in response to unexpected or suspicious messages.
  • Trust your instincts and report any unusual or concerning communications to us immediately.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

The Sims 4: Creating myself

Is there a better way to start your character creation adventure in the Sims than by creating yourself? I think not!

Unless you’re a recovering perfectionist trying to make your sim as realistic as possible…then it may take you a while… also known as… this took me a while.

Q: What does pride month mean to you?

A: Celebrating of queer joy and how far we have come. Also, a time to speak up and continue fighting for the queer community! A time to really learn about queer history. A time to be in queer community and celebrate a little bit extra.

Q: What does confidence mean to you?

A: Feeling secure within yourself and your body. Insecurities root from something that has happened. When we can become secure, we become confident.

Q: What is your favorite part about working with/supporting your clients/audience?

A: Hearing the testimonies from folks that have used my map/page. I recently received a message from someone that said their partner and themselves are planning a cross-country road trip that they would have never done before until they found the EIQ map.

Q: If you could go back in time and give yourself any advice during the first year of business, what would it be?

A: Continue to ask questions to people that can help you. As well, be easy on yourself. It’s exhausting! Also don’t forget why you are doing this. โค๏ธ

When did you create your business, and what inspired you to start?

A: January 2nd, 2022.ย After attending Brave Trails (a queer youth leadership camp), I wanted to create that euphoric experience that you feel at Brave Trails.

That feeling where you can be your full authentic self. As people look locally or travel the world, I wanted to create something that would allow them to be their full authentic selves.

I hope that the queer-owned businesses on our map will provide a safer space for folks. I also think about the queer youth and when I was in high school. I wish I knew of a queer-owned coffee shop that I could sit at (out or not) and see queer people exist and work.

Q: What does confidence mean to you?

  • Being comfortable with yourself; moving beyond competence in a skill, knowledge or belief.
  • In business: believing in what you’re offering to clients, knowing you’re the best at what you do and offering value beyond the “price” of.

A: What is the biggest lesson you have learned about yourself since starting your business?

  • We are a reflection of all things in our life – the bad and the good. We are continuously seeking completion – so always keep learning.
  • The only time one fails is when one quits. Feedback is available each time the outcome is different that one wanted or expected.

Q:What is your favorite part about working with/supporting your specific clients?

Q: If you could give any new business owners advice during the first year of owning/starting their business, what would it be?

A: Invest in yourself – no one will invest in you, your business or opportunity, until you do. Surround yourself with people who support you and challenge you. Join a mastermind or group coaching program, hire a coach/strategist, outsource what you dislike doing in business.

Q: What inspired you to start this specific business venture?

A: I was introduced to neuro-linguisting programming in early 2019 during what I thought was a sales training – to help me grow my sales pipeline.

During the training, I realized I was naturally good at helping people uncover their passions, super skills and turn those skills into money or profits in business and life. Turns out I had been doing it for years… so the transition to helping people as a business was built.

Q: What does confidence mean to you?

A: Being able to stand tall in a room and take up space. Doesnโ€™t mean you have to be the loudest or most bubbly person. It means you know you belong and you can do the tough work even when itโ€™s scary.
