Keala leads Buddah Mochi with both experience and heart. With 15 years as a teacher, she built her foundation on community and connection. As a single mom who has always worked multiple jobs, she understands resilience, sacrifice, and the value of hard work. She knows what it’s like to start from scratch and to feel invisible. That’s why she ensures every purchase has impact, uplifting others both financially and emotionally. To her, impact always matters more than profit. Through hardships and challenges, her motivation remains the same: to do what feels right and to build something she can look in the mirror and be proud of.
