In Black communities, we are often guided by our parents to get a “proper” education and a “good” job. It is how the generations before us spoke about financial stability because our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents fought against a system that was not favorable to Black people. They often lived paycheck to paycheck, and unfortunately, that streamed into my generation.
We want to help break this cycle and provide the tools to support the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs. If you would like to donate, share a grant, or contribute in other ways, please reach out to info@chaconiacandles.com.
Starting this year (2023), we will offer workshops for the community to teach them about:
1. Candle making
2. Entrepreneurship
Each one, teach one!
