The Latina Behind The XiCali CBD Oils

On this week’s episode of esencia, we had the privilege of speaking with Chelly XiCali, the brujita founder and driving force behind XiCali Products—a comprehensive line of CBD and herbal remedies. 

We delved into Chelly’s inspiring journey from growing up as an East LA queer Chicana, Bruja, and community organizer to transitioning from a minimum-wage retail job to becoming a successful entrepreneur. How she turned a difficult moment into her true calling and thriving business: Her quest to alleviate her mother’s chronic pain led her to look for alternative answers away from the mainstream medical system which found no solutions for her.

With a positive attitude and no accepting the standard care that multiple doctors had suggested (opiods for the pain), she turned into herbalism, oils and CBD, where she found not just a way to alleviate her mom’s pain, but also to help her heal. Since then she has helped many people on their wellness journey!

We also talked to her about her Gordita y Bonita clothing swaps she hosts.
