About the Owner

Hello! My name is Samantha, and for 15 years, I had the joy of being an English high school teacher in a Title I school. Over the years, I observed a significant shift in the mental health of my students and many of my students experienced severe testing anxiety. There was this overwhelming air of learned helplessness and lack of coping. The increasing pressures and stresses of the world were taking a toll on everyone, even myself. In facing these challenges, I found that taking small, mindful steps towards personal growth made all the difference. This journey showed me that true self-care is about nurturing our own growth. Building resilience and finding healthy ways to manage mental health became my heartfelt mission. With this realization, I wanted to share my message with the world. I believe that by adorning ourselves with intention and embracing self-care, we can nurture a healthy mental lifestyle. This belief led to the creation of Self Kara, where each piece is crafted to guide and support your journey towards self-growth and mental well-being. By choosing our jewelry, you are not just elevating your style but also committing to elevate yourself. Each piece serves as a gentle reminder to prioritize your intentions and continue your personal growth journey.
