In an interview, local fashion designer and event planner Sonia Noel, highlighted that due to the pandemic, the expo was unable to be held earlier this year but she saw that there needed to be one before the year finished. She explained that what she saw was that the women were losing their confidence not only in their businesses but themselves as well. Noel further stated that she hopes with media coverage, this initiative would encourage women out there to get on board and for persons to get items for the Christmas season. Speaking with Kaieteur News, some of the women at the expo expressed their gratitude to Sonia Noel for introducing them to this initiative, because it not only gives them exposure but it has impacted their lives in so many ways.
