Today we’d like to introduce you to Amani Davis.
Hi Amani, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I started a family business August of 2020 for my younger siblings who were 17 and 14 at the time. My mom is a single parent of five and she raised us to be close-knit and family-oriented. When COVID first began, we were tired of being in the house, and my brothers really didn’t have much to with their sports events getting postponed. With everything going on during the year from schools closing to businesses closing, this was just supposed to be something fun for them to do at home and it turned into a business. I purchased one jumper and one waterslide and grew from there. Over time clients requested other items such as tables, chairs, mechanical bulls, etc., so my brothers worked hard and business grew and we purchased more items. Balloon decor was also in high demand with a lot of small gatherings happening so I spent days on YouTube and practiced how to make organic garlands, and now it’s one of my most popular services. A party company was never a part of my plans when I graduated college but neither was a pandemic and I’m thankful that I was able to start this company and meet so many amazing clients over the past year!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road has definitely been filled with many obstacles. I didn’t have a truck when I first started so transporting inflatables was a difficult task, but the clients that I have and the family around that motives me provided me with many kind words and helpful resources to where I was able to get the job done effectively every time!
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Mani’s Party Favors?
Mani’s Party Favors LLC is a party rental business located in Los Angeles, CA.

Can you share something surprising about yourself?
Most people do not know that I started this company at 20 years old with my 17 and 14 years old brothers. None of us knew how to roll a jumper so we learned as we were booked. Now today, each of us can roll a 200 + lbs jumper ALONE and are good at it!
