What is your biggest success?

There have been many milestones I consider great successes, but for me, the biggest is our company reaching its 10-year mark. What started as a hobby between two women has grown into a thriving business and our full-time livelihood. Reaching a decade in business is not only a personal achievement- it’s a testament to our resilience, hard work, and passion. One of the things I’m most proud of is the number of job opportunities we’ve created along the way. Knowing that our business is helping others put food on the table and a roof over their heads gives our work a deeper purpose. That, to me, is success- growing something meaningful, staying true to our values, and making a positive impact on the lives of others.

What has been your biggest hurdle?

One of my biggest hurdles was starting Limitless Events while navigating the demands of early motherhood. My partner, Rehana, and I launched the business in 2014, and I left my full-time job in 2015- the same year I gave birth to my first son. Around that time, my husband also started his own business, so we were both building from the ground up. Balancing work and personal life was incredibly tough. There were long nights, missed moments, and many sacrifices-especially with my eldest, who arrived just as everything was beginning. I’m still not quite sure how we got through that period, but we did- with a lot of determination, support, and love. Looking back, those challenging years laid the foundation for everything we’ve built today.
