Celebrating Strong Women: The Power Behind Every Business

So, you're thinking about starting a business, but you’re not quite sure where to begin? You’ve got big ideas and dreams, but the world of entrepreneurship can feel like a crowded garden. You’re standing there with a seed in your hand, unsure of where to plant it in the already busy landscape. The truth is, launching a business is a lot like raising a child – it takes a village. It’s more than just an idea; it’s your baby, and it requires the support and nurturing of those around you.

One thing that often gets overlooked in the hustle of growing a business is the power of the people who are behind the scenes, the unsung heroes who help you thrive. Today, in celebration of Women’s Day, we wanted to give a special shout-out to the incredible woman who has been the backbone of our journey, helping us grow and guiding us through the process.

The Power of Mentorship: A Village of Support

Every successful entrepreneur will tell you that it’s not just about having a great idea—it’s about having the right support system. And that’s where strong, powerful women come in. Our business journey was anything but easy. From late-night calls and texts to navigating through the sometimes overwhelming tech world (we'll be honest, we weren’t the most tech-savvy at first!), we had someone who was there every step of the way.

There’s something truly special about a working environment where no question is too silly to ask, and there’s never judgment. For us, this safe space was created by one remarkable woman—Adelaide Liko. She’s the woman who held up the fort behind the scenes, answering our endless questions and always guiding us with a warm, kind heart. Her eagerness to see us succeed was evident from the very beginning, and we were incredibly lucky to find someone so dedicated to helping two women grow in the business world.

Adelaide Liko: The Woman Behind Our Brand

Adelaide Liko is not only a mentor but a true powerhouse in her own right. A hard-working, strong, and independent woman, she’s the embodiment of everything that today’s Women’s Day represents. With a background in architecture and a lifelong passion for art beginning at the age of only 4, Adelaide brings a unique perspective to the table. Her design skills, coupled with her artistic vision, were key in helping us build and shape our brand from the ground up.

Adelaide’s creativity isn’t confined to just her paintings; it spills over into everything she does. She’s a talented artist whose work blends realism with bold, expressive elements, often drawing inspiration from fashion and pop culture. But beyond her art, she’s also a savvy business consultant and creative strategist who helps businesses with branding, design, and event planning. With her thoughtful approach, she’s able to guide businesses to create meaningful and lasting connections with their audiences.

Her ability to balance both the creative and strategic sides of a business has been invaluable to us. Her insight has not only helped us create an aesthetic brand but has also helped us with the strategic planning required to move our business forward. Adelaide has been there, showing us how to combine creativity with functionality, teaching us the value of storytelling, and helping us build an experience—not just a business.  

Women Helping Women: A Tradition Worth Celebrating

Today, as we celebrate strong women around the world, we reflect on the importance of the sisterhood that drives us. Adelaide is a living example of what it means to be a woman helping another woman. She’s demonstrated time and time again that when women work together, great things happen. Whether it’s through offering guidance, sharing wisdom, or just lending a listening ear, women empowering other women is a powerful force.

So, here’s to strong women—may we be them, may we know them, and may we raise them. We are beyond grateful to have had Adelaide by our side, helping us build our business and guiding us toward success. She truly embodies the spirit of mentorship, encouragement, and strength. As we continue our journey, we hope to pass on the same support, kindness, and guidance to others that she’s shown us.

Cheers to women who lift each other up—today, and every day.
