We had the good fortune of connecting with Neamh Abdullah and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Neamh, what do you attribute your success to?
When I started Confections by Neamh in 2020, I pursued it as a hobby and expressed my creative freedom as I came out with themed treat boxes with a variety of desserts. Now in 2023, I strive for success because I have my daughter, Hiba, behind me. I want to be an inspiration for her as she could do anything she loves whether it’s going to college and pursuing a career or becoming an entrepreneur and starting her own business out of something she’s passionate about.

What should our readers know about your business?
Standing from where I am now, I can say it wasn’t easy starting my business but it was definitely worth it. Confections by Neamh was created right when Covid started and that was the hardest time for all of us. Business wise, it was hard to grow because everyone was taking precautions to not interact with others. It was also hard shopping around for ingredients. There was a time where I had to pay triple for a product that was originally found at any grocery store just to get it on time for an order but of course, I’ve overcame those challenges and thankfully that’s what got me in the position I’m in now. I’m not a quitter so I will do anything in my power to make sure my customers get what they’ve asked for on time. I love being able to discuss everything with my customers and sometimes that means I need to ask 10+ questions to get your exact vision and make you satisfied with your purchase.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I wouldn’t be where I am in life without these 3 most important people. My wonderful mother is the definition of what an inspiration is. She is everything I aspire to be as a woman and as a mother to my daughter. She has supported me in every decision I have ever made and I couldn’t thank her enough for everything. My husband is my biggest supporter and there wouldn’t even be a business if it wasn’t for him pushing me to make my hobby into a business. Of course, my daughter now is a reason for me to keep the business going. She has made me want to keep this up so she can see me doing something I love.
