Twenty-one years ago, I wanted to create a website to help others, mainly those with my syndrome, Velocardiofacial (velo-cardio-facial) syndrome. I had no idea how to create it or start it. Luckily for me, my parents knew the creator of the Washington Post online, Chris Schroder, and he was the CEO of a company called HeathCentral. So, my parents set up a meeting with him, and at first, it didn’t look like he was too interested, but I ended up working for him as the website manager of my own website. After a few years, I realized I was not getting the traction I wanted, so I expanded. I decided to include people with dyslexia and other learning differences. I gained some more friction after that. Then I thought to myself, maybe I could start interviewing people with dyslexia, and so I did. About ten years went by, and we updated Friends of Quinn again. A few more years went by, and we updated once more. I realized that the problem was the name. Friends of Quinn was too much about me, which I didn’t want. I wanted it to be about everybody else like me. So Fabiola and I found this company online called Colibrily. I still have trouble pronouncing their name. The CEO of the website looked at friendsofquinn.com and saw more potential in the website than really anybody else who had looked at it, so we hired them. One of the first things we started to talk about was the name, and thought that it would be a good idea to change it.
