“I started Kalaia because I was passionate about empowering women through the Direct Selling platform. We extend our mission through the Kalaia Cares Micro-Loan Program that supports female owned business around the world. When I started Kalaia, what I didn’t expect was the countless ways we will change lives through our products. That has been the most rewarding part of this journey.”
