In the midst of struggling with postpartum depression in 2017, Kourtni Stanaker found her calling as an entrepreneur with the support of home-based clothing that ignited her passion for providing clothing for women of all sizes. After years of selling clothing online via Facebook Live, Stanaker launched her own boutique, Sydney Jayde & Co, naming it after her daughter.

Quote of note: “I feel like, once I had my daughter, that was a driving factor for me, to create something for her, something that she could be proud of, something that she could be involved in, something that gave me flexibility to be a full-time mom,” Stanaker said. “Because I am. I don't miss anything at school. I'm a volunteer. I'm a full-time mom as well as a full-time business owner.”

What they offer: With sizes running from small to 3XL, the boutique offers elevated everyday clothing and matching sets for anyone from teenagers to senior women. With inventory changing by the season, brands offered include Umgee, Zenana and Intro.

Celebrate Ramadan at one of the multiple community events—from pop-up markets to a Quran recital competition—being held across the Greater Houston area.
