My interview with Christina DiMari of You're Designed to Shine

I sat down with Christina DiMari during Surf Expo expecting to learn about a new product.  What I came away with was a new friend.  Christina is an absolutely wonderful person who is on a mission to help young women find purpose in their lives.  Her story not only captivates, but motivates as well


CHRISTINA DIMARI founder
Christina is an inspirational writer, artist and teacher who has a passion to inspire girls to pursue the dreams and unwrap the gifts God has placed within them. She is the author of Ocean Star (a memoir) and You’re Designed to Shine! Because of her desire to empower young women to find wholeness and purpose early on in their journey, she founded You’re Designed to Shine events, where girls are encouraged, mentored and inspired to grow on their journey of becoming all God designed them to be. With the release of a You’re Designed to Shine Leaders Guide, girls and woman all over the world are now leading similar small group events reaching out to girls in their own communities.

As a way to help fund her dream of shining for girls, Christina founded 
Ocean Star Gifts, a line of greeting cards, pearl jewelry, guest books, journals and inspirational books. Her popular product line is now sold in nearly every beach community in the States and is continually spreading throughout the Caribbean Islands and world.
