She chose freedom, then built a life around it.
Attorney. Founder. Author. Speaker. Mom.
Kara has spent more than 17 years helping women regain their confidence and achieve financial independence.
From Haiti to a life designed with purpose.
Kara grew up on the Caribbean island
of Haiti
On November 9, 1996, Kara’s life took a drastic turn when her father was brutally murdered while at work
Kara pressed on, graduating Cum Laude from Adelphi University with a double major in Political Science and Business management and receiving her Juris Doctor from Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad College of Law where she also graduated Cum Laude.
In August 1999, Kara relocated to New York to live with her maternal grandmother, in search of a better life. A little over a year later, the house she shared with her grandmother caught on fire and her grandmother didn’t make it.
While waiting for the bar results, Kara found out she had passed a different test altogether- a pregnancy test. Kara’s priorities instantly shifted in favor of time freedom
Kara bought her freedom for $100 starting a Mary Kay business, selling skin care and color cosmetics as a Florida licensed attorney, driving to court in style in her pink Cadillac
Today, Kara uses everything she has learned on her journey to help women going through life transitions regain their confidence and achieve time, money and lifestyle freedom. Both her Laptop Lifestyle Lawyer® and Main Karacter™ brands were created to achieve
that end
Kara launched her law firm, Vaval Law, on the heels of that lipstick business and has now been representing the injured in South Florida for over 17 years
