We recently had the chance to connect with Miagney Ripley and have shared our conversation below.
Miagney, a huge thanks to you for investing the time to share your wisdom with those who are seeking it. We think it’s so important for us to share stories with our neighbors, friends and community because knowledge multiples when we share with each other. Let’s jump in: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
The first 90 minutes of my day are very intentional. I start by waking up and spending time in prayer, talking to God about my day and setting a positive tone. After that, I go through my personal care routine to refresh and prepare myself. Finally, I head to the gym to get my body energized and my mind focused for the day ahead. After that I am focused on work and just being able to continue to build myself.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hello, my name is Miagney Ripley, and I’m so excited to share my journey with you. I am the proud author of Xavier’s Dream Journey, a heartfelt children’s book inspired by the life of my beloved nephew, Xavier, who was born with a birth defect that prevented him from walking or talking. Despite his physical limitations, Xavier’s spirit, strength, and the beautiful glow in his eyes told a story of hope, resilience, and dreams that nothing could hold back. His life inspired me to create something meaningful not just a book, but a movement.
Through this journey, I founded Xavier’s Dream Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting children and adults with disabilities. Our mission is to empower those with unique challenges to still dream big, achieve their goals, and embrace their potential. We provide resources, educational programs, and community support to help individuals and families thrive despite the obstacles they face.
What makes this brand unique is that it is deeply personal. It’s not just about awareness it’s about creating opportunities for success, celebrating life, and inspiring others to believe that no limitation defines their worth. Writing Xavier’s Dream Journey was the first step in sharing this message with the world. This book represents hope, love, and a reminder that dreams are limitless, no matter the circumstances.
Currently, I’m working on expanding our programs, organizing community events, and creating more resources to help families impacted by disabilities. I’m passionate about building a legacy that not only honors Xavier but changes lives for generations to come.
If you haven’t yet, I’d love for you to check out Xavier’s Dream Journey and learn more about our foundation at www.xaviersdream.org. Together, we can make dreams possible for everyone.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
A moment that really shaped how I see the world was when I started traveling. Experiencing different cultures and environments opened my eyes to new perspectives and ways of life. It helped me understand that everyone has their own unique story and worldview, which taught me to be more open minded, empathetic, and appreciative of diversity.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Yes, there was a time I almost gave up when I was battling with grief. It was one of the hardest seasons of my life, and I felt overwhelmed. What restored me was putting my faith first. Leaning on God gave me strength, hope, and the reminder that my story wasn’t over.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes, the public version of me is the real me. I strive to show up authentically in every space I’m in. What you see is a reflection of my true values, personality, and character I believe in being genuine no matter the setting.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Yes, I could. I believe true commitment and integrity are about giving your best regardless of recognition. My motivation comes from personal standards and purpose, not external validation. Even if no one praises me, I know that excellence speaks for itself and the effort will pay off in ways beyond applause.
