In this episode of The Best of Raleigh, we’re talking fashion, entrepreneurship, and Raleigh’s retail renaissance with Kayla Brewer, founder of Voda Boutique — the go-to destination where timeless meets trendy in North Hills. Kayla shares how she turned a childhood love for fashion into a thriving brand rooted in style, service, and local flair. From her days at NC State’s College of Textiles to launching Voda in a tiny downtown shop (and leveling up to North Hills), Kayla opens up about the real journey behind building a boutique that empowers women of all ages to feel confident and comfortable. We dive into her lessons in entrepreneurship, her vision for the future, and how Voda is redefining what it means to look good, feel good in Raleigh. Plus — her take on the power of live selling, styling for all generations, and advice for young women dreaming of starting their own business. If you love local business stories, empowering women in fashion, and discovering Raleigh’s hidden gems — this one’s for you.
