In the spirit of celebrating Women’s Day, QL has put together a few businesses that we have come across recently. In the hopes of extending our support and welcoming another generation of entrepreneurs and women-led businesses, we bring you our top 9 picks for small businesses owned by women

Salestial Art

With the motto to ‘deliver art beyond the canvas’ Salestial Art caught our attention at the recent Torba Market stall where we fell in love with mandala art all over again. Using neon colors to oomph up the designs, we couldn’t decide between the handmade resin coasters, the handmade bookmarks, or the live digital illustrations. A project that started as a passion by a 20-year-old and transferred onto various mediums, we’re blown away by Saleha and her salestial creations!

Go Nuts Qatar

If you’ve been following blogger Afshan on Instagram, you’re already aware of this small business that we are blown away by. Making healthy treats and ultimately making everyone’s life easier, Go Nuts Qatar is actually one of the oldest names in the market that does keto desserts and snacks. Their vegan nut butters are an absolute delight and with Afshan taking everyone behind the scenes on her page, you cannot help but want more!
