Ep. 47: How Michelle Barrionuevo-Mazzini, created Casita Michi, a candle brand to empower her comunidad to be and feel seen

I am joined by Michelle Barrionuevo-Mazzini. Michelle is a first-generation Latina from San Francisco and the Creative founder of Casita Michi, a brand that celebrates cultura through empowering and sustainable candles. With the lack of representation in the home fragrance space, she set out to create a product that would empower her comunidad to be seen and feel seen. Casita Michi candles provide a sense of worth, the nostalgia of home and the feeling that you belong. Valuing women empowerment, self-love, social good and viewing self care as an absolute necessity versus a luxury. Tune in to learn more about Michelle's journey!
