Last February, Onika Reynolds, a stay-at-home mother, took a leap of faith when she launched Nika’s Kustom Kreations. She says she had long had dreams of sharing her creative self with the rest of the world but never took the plunge. From time to time she would venture out, creating customized invitations, banners and party favours primarily for modest gatherings of family and friends. They became her judges, persistently nudging her in the direction of starting a business of her own. Her own courage, meanwhile, was being boosted by the positive feedback she was receiving from the hosting of birthday parties that allowed more opportunity to parade her creations.
During her conversation with Stabroek Business earlier this week, Reynolds spoke about the emotional and material support she received from her husband.
