Anna Dravland is a disabled stroke survivor & Founder of Goodness and Greems and the nonprofit event, Spread Goodness Day. Anna suffered a stroke in November 2017, leading to the loss of her career and ability to work a regular job. After many ideas, attempts, failures and medical complications, she found herself wondering what she could do to have a sustainable career. Goodness and Greens was developed after a friend gifted her with a Tower Garden so she could have fresh produce, regardless of her income.
Once she started growing, she was hooked. Over three months she meticulously developed the platform for Goodness and Greens. While still suffering from unexplained symptoms, rare conditions and chronic pain, she worked when able to create this educational, playful and easy-to-use brand. She is excited to share her new passion and build a sustainable business for herself – a business that can function even when she is not functional. As Goodness and Greens comes alive, she hopes for more than a successful career. She wants to inspire people that, even in times of economic uncertainty & illness, there is a way to find a new path to goodness and prosperity.
