Summary
In 2019 Tiffany moved home to Maui, Hawaii to become primary caregiver to her adult brother Christian. Christian is now in his thirties and has been living with autism. Inspired by her brother's interest in jewelry and wanting to help him find a job, Tiffany created Depo Market, a retail business that provides jobs to other adults with disabilities like Chris.
In this episode, we chat about what made Tiffany relocate from NYC to Maui, how her partner created a personal living space for her brother Chris, what it’s like to balance care for a brother and a brand new baby, and how Depo Market came to be and how others can support what they are doing.
