We had the good fortune of connecting with Kyleigh Giddens and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kyleigh, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I Wanted To Start My Own Business Because I Eventually Want To Work For Myself. I Wanted Something That I Could Call My Own & That I Could Potentially Pass It Down To My Own Kids In The Future.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I Handmade All My Products That I Sell. I ADORE Making The Products Because I Love The End Results & That Feeling Of Being Accomplished In Something. I Honestly Wouldn’t Have Gotten Far Professionally Without My Business Partner. It Was Not Easy But It’s Definitely Worth It. I Would Love The World To Know That Creole Thangz Isn’t Just A Black Woman Owned Business Just Trying To Sell Products & Make Money. I’m Trying To Start A Movement So Everyone Knows It Is Okay To Uplift & Support Others.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well I’m In Louisiana Currently So I Would Definitely Take Them To New Orleans. For A Week Long Trip We Would Rent Out An Airbnb & Literally Cruise The City. There’s So Much Great Food, Entertainment, Culture & Etc In NOLA. The Best Things To Checkout Would Definitely Be Cafe Du Monde, French Quarter, Riverwalk, Bourbon Street, Canal Street & Etc. Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I Would Love To Dedicate My Shoutout To All Of CT Gang Because Honestly Creole Thangz Would Not Be Where We Are Today Without Them & I Especially Wanna Thank Our Logistics Operator Jovanni For Even Making Creole Thangz Happen!
