About

Shekoli / Hello!

Yaw^ko/ Thank you so much for visiting my store, I would love to introduce myself.

My name is Kayla, I’m a Oneida / Mohawk woman, entrepreneur and mama from Ontario - Canada, running a small business based in Nova Scotia - Mi’kmaq territory. I grew up off of my reserve but my family is from Six Nations - Oshweken.

Ever since I can remember, I’ve always been dabbling in different kinds of creative arts! I’ve done lots of drawing, painting, sewing, makeup artistry, creating jewelry and many more things that I always considered as “just little hobbies” at the time. I’ve grown to learn that these were not “just little hobbies” but actually my passions and things that I wanted to pursue a career with. So it means the world to me to have so many people in my corner and support my small business, a safe space for everyone where I can share all of the art that I love to create, while also supporting other fellow indigenous artists along the way.

With all of you supporting me, you’ve made it possible for me to pursue my passions and be at home with my babies and family all at the same time. I feel beyond lucky everyday, so thank you so much again / yaw^ko!!! I’m so grateful for you all. I hope you get as much joy as I do from my shop and keep creating beautiful things!
