On August 14, 1947, following the end of the British Raj, Pakistan was declared a sovereign state. As a Pakistani myself, this month we will be commemorating Pakistani independence by sharing works by Pakistani creatives and artists. At Kahani, we strive to build an ecosystem of love and support within our own communities. So, let’s support the Pakistani artist community together.

On June 18, 2022, we got Nikah-ed (our Islamic marriage) in a small intimate ceremony. An important part Kahani's foundation when I started my small business back in 2020 is building an ecosystem of support within our own communities, fellow small business owners, and creatives. Our Nikah was the perfect setting to highlight some of the amazing women-owned small businesses I've gotten to know over the years. It was an especially real “treat” to be able to cater a few of my favorite sweets on this occasion. 

This past weekend, we had our first pop up event at a global retail store brand, Kiehl's. We set up shop at the Kiehl's store in the Westfield Garden State Plaza in Paramus, New Jersey. The team at Kiehl's was so amazing and welcoming of my small business. Kiehl's is supporting our local small business community by giving them a stage to showcase their brand, products, services, and share their customer base. We are so grateful for the team at Kiehl's at Westfield Garden State Plaza for reaching out and allowing Kahani to be a part of this initiative.

Eid Mubarak! We wish you a joyous Eid to all who celebrate. Thank you for continuing to support my little small business. Because of YOU, we were able to contribute a portion of our quarter sales to Islamic Relief USA. Thank you so much for supporting us!
