Faith Bohn is the founder and owner of Down2Cookie. The changes she’s made in her life have a common theme – choice. Faith chose to move from Halifax to Calgary, leaving her Syrian Muslim family with the traditions and expectations of a young single woman. She chose to marry a Lutheran Catholic and chose to change her career from a hairdresser to starting a cookie business.
Overnight, Faith and her husband’s family changed from one child to 3 with the birth of her twin boys. The twins have Down Syndrome, bringing changes to Faith she never expected. Changes in perspective on what she thought being a Mom would be and a changing perspective on people with different abilities.
She wants her boys to have choice in their lives, so she created Down2Cookie, a home-based baking business where people with Down Syndrome can work and gain experience. Faith believes we shouldn’t take anything lying down – change is going to happen and we can either let it tear us down or we learn and build from it.
