HER STORY ⟡ Medina Haseena-Diallo

Hello, my name is Medina Haseena-Diallo I have many titles: wife, mother, neuromuscular therapist, entrepreneur, speaker, women's health philanthropist, and accomplished author, to name a few. My unrelenting devotion to women’s health and wellness is matched only by my fiery desire to make a difference in the world.

 After graduating, I founded a private practice called My Meaningful Health, which focused on helping women with common issues faced during pregnancy and postpartum. Since then, I have worked with over 300 women and have no plans to slow down.

In 2022, "The Shades of Blue Project" honored me with the prestigious "Good Heart" award during Black Maternal Week for my outstanding work. I have also appeared in many esteemed magazines and publications, such as Voyage Baltimore, Fashion Week Online, and Jukebox Time.

WHY I STARTED:

My journey began with the birth of my first child, which went off without a hitch and taught me the value of a strong community of midwives and caretakers. My second birth experience was not as supportive, but it showed me that my destiny was to work in women's health.

WHY I LOVE BEING A BUSINESS OWNER:

I love that I am able to be creative and design my lifestyle how I vision it to be. I also love the flexibility that it brings while being a wife, mom, and homemaker.

WHO OR WHAT INSPIRES ME:

My own experience through womanhood, and motherhood inspires me to inspire women who are going through similar things in life. My children also give me the motivation and push so I can be an awesome role model for them.

PIECE OF ADVICE:

Embrace every season of life. Look at your blessings rather than compare yourself to another person’s journey. Everyone has a gift that can change the world, they just have to dig deeper and find it.

WHAT DOES BEAUTY MEANS TO YOU:

Beauty to me means being the best version of yourself. It means not only working on being beautiful on the outside but the inside as well.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO YOUR PAST SELF STARTING A BUSINESS:

I would tell her to focus on one idea and be patient. Do not be afraid of success.
