At what stage is Kiksplace now? Do you feel fulfilled at your achievements?
Kiksplace I will say right now is at the starting point, i mean it keeps getting better. I will say our name is out there by God's grace but we are not there yet. So much is still coming Kiksplace. I feel blessed that God has brought us this far and thankful for the achievements so far...would i say I'm fulfilled...oh well I'm still a work in progress.
Why specialize in kaftans?
Simplicity is a reflection of who I am.
I love to look good and my comfort is very important to me. I know millions of women are out there that share the same view. So I would rather cater for simple but classy Kaftans and Boubous.

Consistency and being myself.
I have come to realize that in business consistency is key, one must not lose focus and that has been working for me.
