Devin Tomiak is the creator of The Biggies Cards. After her youngest brother died by suicide in 2014, she was driven to understand resiliency, where it comes from, and how it’s bolstered. As a mom of two young boys, her preoccupation had a unique urgency. THE BIGGIES were born from her mission to strengthen her relationship with her own children, develop their emotional intelligence, and improve the communication skills of her whole family. She has found meaning in sharing her experience with other caregivers and children in the hope they can learn and benefit alongside her. After navigating the loss of her brother from suicide, Devin needed ways to talk with her young sons about emotional resilience. Her efforts led to The Biggies Cards. You can find out more about Devin and the cards on her website.
