Today we’d like to introduce you to Andrea Barraza.
Andrea, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Hello, my name is Andrea Barraza. I started cremas the Andrea for the sole purpose to help my mother’s pain. Although I did go to business school for years, my intention was never to start a business of my own. I started with my mom and later started to sell at work to doing local popups around the inland empire. After learning easy DIY recipes online to make body butters that are infused with CBD, I later realized that many people are often mislead by CBD and what it can do for your body especially when it comes to managing pain.
With cremas de Andrea I was able to reach much of the Latino community at work or at local pop up’s to educated on the benefits of CBD.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
Challenging yes, especially when it comes to myself.
I have dealt with depression my entire life due to my disability so it has made me a very closed-off person. With this project, it has really opened my heart and life to keeping up with this small business and just getting out there.
Not only has it been challenging when it comes to educating people on the stigma that hemp may have. Some may think it can “get you high” which is not the case. Also investing in myself and this company has been challenging especially when I am not a big brand just me myself and I producing and making these cremas with love and good intention.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
My work Is all given from the glory to God for giving me strength. My mothers, my family, those who have supported my cremas from the beginning. People that are no longer my life but have shown me support. Also, those who may not have liked my product but has taught me to change and grow working with
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
All cremas are made with natural ingredients and of course, have CBD, all cremas have essential oils and are made with love.
Also have recently enrolled in receiving a diploma in organic skin care formulation to do produce better quality.
