On her reason for joining the League of Women of 'If You Knew Me', Kara shares:

 "I believe wholeheartedly in the power of story, and that all we can really share as human beings is our experience – not our judgement, not our concerns, not our opinions – just share our life experience in order to help others. I love the vulnerability, and candor, of this project, and the magic that happens when you hear your story in another person."
