XOXO By Molly is my creative outlet where I share what I love to do with those I love. In 2021, I was called to create creations that I could share with others to spread love and kindness. It started out with spicing up a blank pair of boots, representing my desire to make things fun in life. I then started creating shell jewelry from my irreplaceable shell collection from Sanibel, FL, my happiest place on earth. Ever since I have grown in spirit and creativity to make gifts and spread love to others. Now I am proud to call myself a creative entrepreneur.

I have also grown in purpose spread love more strongly than ever. Having faced my own personal traumas and the trauma among friends, family, and people in my community, mental health has been a big focus of what I do in my everyday life. With the help of my supporters, XOXO has been able to donate over $8,000 donated among the National Foundation for Suicide Prevention and The Child Mind Institute. The “U R LOVED” bracelets share messages of love and support for others, reminding people that they are loved in this world. I want to keep spreading the love to the world, helping people feel valued, loved, and needed.
