Carole Kennelly
Mompreneur. Philanthropist. Social Activist. Creative. Carole learned the ropes of the small business world in the craft beer and wine industries. In 2011, she co-founded Historic Brewing Co and Grand Canyon Wine Co in Northern Arizona with some close family members. In 2012, she and her ceramic artist partner launched Mayware Ceramics, a studio, wholesale and online business. In 2017, Carole created, directed and produced Crafting Arizona, an eight episode show featuring change makers in the Arizona food and beverage scene. After the birth of her first child in 2017, she made the decision to leave the beer and wine industry to pursue projects more in line with her life’s passion and core values. That’s when the seeds of Her Rebel Soul first started to sprout. Her overall vision for the company is to one day be a leading resource for women looking to launch their own socially conscious businesses and brands. For Carole, the future is female.
