In this must-watch interview on Momtalk Maryland with Claire Duarte (The Columbia Mom), co-founder of My Five Vibes (MY5) Dawn pulls back the curtain on the wild ride of disrupting a male-dominated alcohol industry. From surviving a grueling year-long battle with state licensing to launching their trending, completely bubble-free, non-carbonated vodka waters in over 77 locations in under a year, this story is the ultimate blueprint for turning friendship and risk-taking into a certified empire.
Dawn breaks down exactly why the MY5 movement is taking over the mid-Atlantic—highlighting their premium, gluten-free corn vodka, real cane sugar, and hyper-local flavors like “The OG” (which tastes exactly like a nostalgic Baltimore Egg Custard Snowball!). But beyond the crisp, clean taste, this interview shows the true heart of our brand: a 100% independent, women-owned business that pours love right back into the Maryland community through local sponsorships and events.
