About Me...
My name is Lora Nakamura, MSW, Founder & Creator of The Bonsai Babes. Growing up I struggled greatly with my identity, family expectations, and who I was supposed to be. And I know that living a life of expectations can come with a lot of struggle and pain. I'm currently working on developing the The Bonsai Babes Lifestyle Brand to encourage and remind us of the freedom we can feel when we are just us.
