BIO:
Michelle Barrionuevo-Mazzini is a 1st gen Latina, multi-passionate creative entrepreneur and jefa at CASITA MICHI and MB Creative Co. She is passionate about social good, BIPOC representation, and elevating Latina voices. She is no longer ok with just getting a seat at the table, she wants to create one. Last fall, Michelle became the first Latina-owned candle brand to debut at Macy's and at a large retailer for that matter. Her hope is that through her brand's story she can empower our community to be seen and feel seen.
