INSPIRING ENTREPRENEUR
TRUE BORN ISLANDER
Giving Islanders something they can call their own — a way to showcase the very special but different things that we are known for, and of course wanting to be self- sufficient and having the ability to be much more a part of her children’s lives. These are the things inspired Sydonia Skerry, owner of True Born Islander to launch her venture in 2015. “What people may not realize is that this company consists of just me,” says Skerry, “Ordering supplies, creating the designs, cutting the vinyl, stamping the apparel, taking orders, packaging and shipping orders, all maintenance to the equipment, all the customer service messaging, as well as all the advertising and social media posting”. The brand has evolved in the last three years, “In the beginning the brand started out with just the True Born Islander design, since then I have created the Red Dirt Road design, Good Times in the Maritimes design and I just released the brand new Saltwater Lifestyle design. Each design focuses on a different part of our beautiful Island.” Skerry is a perfect example of an inspiring entrepreneur – she focused on a goal and with determination and hard work has achieved success. Her line of products can be purchased on her website or through her Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ TrueBornIslander.
