In recent years she has created the Owl & the Pussy Cat Hotel on a coastal corner of Sri Lanka, bringing poetry, the arts and architecture under one roof. But it's not been plain sailing; being a woman in the construction industry, and a new hotelier when the tourist industry took a hit after a devastating terrorist attack in Sri Lanka's largest city Columbo. Now following COVID-19 she is opening up again with an optimistic and creative vision for the future.Brave New You Tribe podcast host, artist & illustrator Lou Hamilton talks to Reita about Sri Lanka, the NGO's Pratham & SPIC MACAY , about building a property business and supporting the arts.
