Kaieteur News – Many young people have been unleashing their creative side and have even been defying the odds, amid the pandemic, to show the world just how productive they can be.
Many of them in recent months launched businesses that provide services within the various sectors.

Young Entrepreneur, Natascia Ownola Paul

Natascia Ownola Paul, our featured entrepreneur today, is a sterling example. The young woman, who hails from Stewartville on the West Coast of Demerara, revealed that it was her art and craft skills that led her to delve into the business arena.
The 26-year-old is the founder and sole proprietor of ‘Nola’s Creations,’ a local arts and crafts business that produces creative handcrafted cards, infinity boxes, explosion boxes, scrapbooks, magic photo cubes, rotating scrapbooks to suit just about any occasion.
In an interview with Kaieteur News, the mother of two revealed that although her business was officially launched last year October, before that she was dabbling in things art and craft.
“I would normally make birthday or anniversary cards for my mom, my aunt, and grandmother. A few years back I made cards for some nursery school students to give to their mothers and fathers for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day,” she related.
From there she started to share pieces of her work on social media. These unique pieces, she noted, were posted in a Facebook group for persons to see. Eventually, she disclosed, persons interested in her creation started to place orders and sales took off. But that’s not where the idea of joining the business arena came from. Paul explained that it was in October when delivering some infinity boxes for a workmate, two men had approached her at the time, and was amazed at her creativeness and asked if she could supply them with some orders. “Since then I got a lot of orders and I decided to become committed and use my skills,” she related.
Business, since it started, has been prospering she revealed. Her support base, she noted, has been amazing so far due to the many orders she has been receiving. She added that during this journey there were not many challenges encountered even with the prevailing global pandemic.
As time progresses, one of her goals is to have a remote location so that persons can visit and see what is it she has in store from them. Although she is skillful at handcrafting boxes and cards, Paul still believes there is more she can develop on, and as such, she added, “I plan on shaping myself during this initial time so that I’m prepared to deliver on bigger targets later.”
Another goal for her too is that when she becomes even more successful, she plans on assisting upcoming entrepreneurs with their business plans and ideas and making sure they accomplish their goals.
On the topic of young entrepreneurs, Paul mentioned that they are contributing to society greatly by being leaders and role models to others and showing them that they too can invest in their skills.
“The role young entrepreneurs play in society is that they contribute to society by leading the way and finding innovative solutions to financial and social issues. Also, they inspire other young people to invest in their skills and use it to provide an income,” she stated.
When asked what more can be done to help boost small businesses in our society today, our featured entrepreneur said that there should be more advertising platforms that can give them that full recognition and exposure.
