May 31, 2022 98. Caroline Adams Stinson and Marisa Renfro: Founders of Casamia
In today's episode, we welcome Caroline Adams & Marisa Renfro, founders of Casamia onto the show!
Caroline’s original wedding day was set for Spring 2020 at Round Hill in Jamaica. Marisa was her go-to in terms of asking for fun & creative ideas for the wedding weekend as Marisa is a notorious party-thrower. Because of the pandemic the wedding was postponed, and to make up for the wedding weekend Marisa and her husband had Caroline and her fiancé over for dinner. To Caroline’s surprise, the dinner was a recreation of her Welcome Party inspired by The Ivy with a Jamaican twist, and Marisa nailed it.
From there, the wine was flowing and Marisa explained the idea of somehow delivering tablescapes to people’s homes. They started spit-firing ideas, and with Caroline’s business savviness the concept became a reality. Both of them were determined to bring happiness to people’s tables nationwide. Voilà Casamia!
The ladies' vulnerability, wisdom, and insight will encourage all of our listeners as they share their stories from their years as undergrads to the present day. Enjoy!

On today's episode, we welcome Christina Greene McAllen! Christina is the founder of her namesake Christina Greene jewelry collection, who was drawn to fashion and jewelry-making long before the company’s start in 2011.

For Christina, jewelry-making was a hobby that she loved, and she never imagined that her passion could launch into what it is today. A Texan through and through, Christina knew there was only one place she’d want to headquarter her growing jewelry business. After a season of living in New York City while attending Parsons School of Design and then working in Manhattan, she moved back to Houston to start her brand.
Since its launch, Christina Greene jewelry has been featured by national and local media outlets including PopSugar, the Today Show, The Houston Chronicle, and more.
