About Hennai Modern Home
I started Hennai because I was tired of contorting myself for others.
Tired of compromising my morals to earn a paycheck. Tired of being the only woman in the room—literally. I took time and wrote out my obituary. Was I living the life I would feel proud of? Was I helping the masses instead of the few? Did I feel good at the end of the day? The answer was no.
So I left it all and started this, little by little.
Now I'm helping women learn about money management, how to DIY to stretch a dollar, and learn to grow and tend a garden because it's like free therapy. Your home is the center of everything. Even if you just drop your bags off and run out the door, a safe and comfortable home is what enables you to do everything else. It's the foundation for your freedom, your rest, your choices. When your home works for you, and doesn't cost you everything, you get to actually live.

Hennai Modern Home Serves 3 purposes.
Small Businesses
Showcase women and small business owners doing incredible things in the modern home space. Yes, there will be ads on the site. But you won't see listicles of Amazon products or Target. You'll see real makers who built something that lasts.
Real Life
Be more than aspirational. You won't see million dollar homes in the most expensive zip codes. You will see ideas and inspiration for living well on what you actually earn. Because your home shouldn't cost you everything—it should enable you.
Ethical Business
Support ethical business. We feature products made in the US, by companies that treat their employees well, made sustainably. It costs more upfront sometimes. But it's leverage—better quality, longer life, less waste, more money back in your pocket.
