In this episode , I sit down with Pizza Girl Founder and CEO, and Activist, Caroline D'Amore. On October 19, just days after the horrific massacre in Israel, Caroline D’Amore was feeling fired up. She’d just gotten off the phone with two different Jewish friends who called her crying and saying they’d lost friends because of their pro-Israel posts on social media. In a spur of the moment video she posted, she said: “I am a Malibu Italian with zero agenda. I have friends on both sides of this Middle East conflict and friends who are currently there giving me details. The one thing I can say is that I’m not highly educated on the long history. I’m doing my best to learn. But the undeniable facts are this: I am not seeing Israeli soldiers marching young girls through the streets, pulling them by their hair after they’ve just been raped. I’m not seeing Israeli soldiers spitting on the bodies of young women that they just killed. I am not seeing Jewish people ripping off the posters of baby hostages. I am not seeing groups of Jewish people marching in the streets, saying death to an entire community. So as somebody on the outside, I can tell you that is freaking terrifying and I am so scared… I can also tell you I was scared to send my daughter to school, and that wasn’t because of Jewish people.” Caroline went on to stick up for the Jewish community, saying, “If you’re one of these people ripping off posters and spewing hate, you need to take a really good look at yourself and ask yourself, why would you ever do that? Free the Palestinians does not mean torture Jewish people.” To her over 100,000 followers, Caroline wrote alongside her video, “I want both the Palestinian people and Israelis to find peace and safety immediately and I truly hope that happens but those spewing these hateful things at innocent people need serious mental help and I don’t know how you got to this point.” The support from the Jewish community came swiftly, with the post earning more than 102,000 likes and thousands of positive comments from Jews. Since Caroline posted that video, she’s received countless loving messages, posted more pro-Jewish videos and been invited to speak to family members of hostages and attend Jewish events, like galas and Shabbat dinners. “I never thought my post would matter,” she said. “Then seeing how much it mattered makes me feel like I have a responsibility to continue to speak out for all these people.” Caroline is an entrepreneur and a single mom to her 8-year-old daughter. She lives in Malibu, where she grew up helping her father run his pizza store. Seeing her father’s hard-working spirit, Caroline was inspired to start her own business, Pizza Girl, which sells organic, sugar-free, pizza sauce with the highest quality and healthiest ingredients. Caroline has done well for herself, getting into over 2,000 stores across the country and coming out with the Pizza Girl Pizza Grill, a portable countertop pizza grill.
