Cara’s Blog

A dynamic GenX Mom of four, I began my journey in 2001 as a key player in California's First 5 Initiative, helping shape early childhood education with a dedicated Parent Group that secured a grant for a comprehensive Pre-School Directory. From 2002 to 2009, I channeled my creativity into running my own Special Event & Wedding Photography Business, mastering Graphic Design along the way to craft bespoke hardcover books that stood out in the digital age.

In 2010, I turned my artistry toward refurbishing furniture, transforming pieces into functional art. By 2013, I ventured into freelancing, offering my design and organizational expertise. The turning point came in 2014 when I embraced the world of cannabis as a Marketing & Social Media Manager, where I found my passion intertwining with a burgeoning industry.

From 2016 to 2022, I founded and eventually closed Femme Nuri, a women's cannabis sorority that fostered community and connection. In 2017, I co-hosted Coffee & Cannabis on the Direct Cannabis Network, engaging audiences with enriching discussions. My entrepreneurial spirit led me to launch a closed line of cannabis swimwear, Rogue California, from 2018 to 2021.

Now, in 2024, I’m thrilled to unveil my latest venture, Chronically Cara, a platform that explores the intersection of cannabis, wellness, and lifestyle through a curious, neurodivergent lens. Join me on this exciting quest for balance and understanding!
