As many of you know, our delicious vegan dark chocolate CBD bar is handmade by the incredible women of Calivolve. With this collaborative CBD edible being back in stock, we decided who better to feature for our fourth installment of Friends of Rosebud – a series we kicked off this past summer to show our commitment in using our platforms to build a more inclusive wellness community.
Calivolve was our calling to be creative and passionate, to launch a company to reach and educate women who wanted to know more about cannabis and how to use it openly and confidently. We were evolving, the industry is evolving, Cali”volve”. That’s where the name came from.
So without further ado, here are some insights on the women of Calivolve.

Calivolve is a women of color-owned company on a mission to make cannabis as socially acceptable as a glass of wine.
