Kaiya Eve on Oprah

While still transitioning into a single Mom to her daughter Kaiya, Kandi continued to build her business with very scant financial resources. Then one day, out of nowhere, she received an email from an 11-year-old little girl named Molly Swindall from Georgia. “Molly really wanted the skirt that Dakota wore, but I wasn’t designing those anymore. I sent her a new fluffy pettiskirt and she fell in love”, says Kandi.

After a year of ordering everything Kandi ever made, Molly called and told Kandi that her Father, Pat Swindall, wanted to invest in her business. Pat called and said, “How much do you need to get your product out there?” He transferred funds into her account the very next day. “He didn’t even know me and he was willing to take a risk,” says Kandi. “These things just don’t happen every day!” Molly has become her little angel, and one year later, they are partners today.
