MOTHER’S Day holds a special place in Malaysians’ hearts. It is a cherished occasion, a time dedicated to honouring the extraordinary women who have shaped our lives with boundless love, sacrifices and unwavering support.

In the spirit of Mother’s Day, we celebrate the remarkable journeys of three inspiring mothers who have not only embraced the challenges of motherhood but have also found success as TikTok Shop sellers. Their stories resonate deeply, showcasing the resilience, dedication and entrepreneurial spirit that define the journey of motherhood.

Chic Hijabi

Bella, the visionary behind Bellascha, went on her entrepreneurial journey during the dark days of the Covid-19 pandemic. Motivated by a desire to support her family and pursue her entrepreneurial dreams, Bella ventured into the world of TikTok Shop in 2022.

Specialising in telekung, a traditional Muslim prayer garment, Bella offers a unique range of designs that blend modern aesthetics with timeless traditions, capturing the eyes of her audience. Through her creative strategies and engaging content, Bella has carved out a niche for herself in the competitive landscape of online retail.

Despite encountering hurdles along the way, Bella’s journey on TikTok Shop has been marked by valuable lessons and memorable milestones, including record-breaking sales of more than RM300,000 in a month.

With determination in her heart and a vision for the future, Bella is excited to continue her entrepreneurial journey, embracing the challenges that lie ahead and inspiring those around her.

Fertility frontiers

Dr Raihana Ismail is not only a successful entrepreneur but also a passionate advocate for women’s health and wellness. As the CEO of Efferty International Sdn Bhd, Raihana has become a leading figure in the field of fertility and wellness. Her journey on TikTok Shop began with a mission to support mothers on their journey to conceive babies.

Through her TikTok Shop, Raihana shares her expertise and offers products designed to support women’s health, inspiring a community of strength and resilience. Intending to reach 1 million “efferty babies”, Raihana remains committed to empowering mothers and helping them achieve their dreams of motherhood.

Baking success

Munirah, a driven entrepreneur behind Muny Munch Bakery and a devoted mother, began her journey after gaining valuable experience as a financial analyst. Inspired by her mother’s delicious brownie recipe, Munirah saw an opportunity to turn her passion for baking into a thriving business.

With the rise of TikTok’s Live feature, she recognised the platform as the avenue to showcase her brownies to a wide audience. Balancing the demands of entrepreneurship and motherhood is no easy feat, but Munirah’s commitment ensures that her children’s needs are always met.

From sending them off to school in the morning to tucking them into bed at night, she juggles her duties with grace and determination. Munirah’s proudest moment on TikTok Shop came when her hard work paid off in a significant way, achieving an impressive RM177,000 in sales per month.

Through her journey, Munirah has learned the importance of perseverance and staying true to her goals. As she continues to build her business and nurture her family, Munirah remains steadfast in her pursuit of success, both personally and professionally.

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, let us take a moment to honour the extraordinary mothers in our lives and the incredible women who are making a difference in the world. The stories of Bella, Raihana and Munirah reflect the endless possibilities that await those who dare to dream and pursue their passions. They remind us of the power of determination, perseverance and resilience.
