We Boxed Candle

This might seem like such a small step in the grand scheme, but it’s what products say, represents and means that makes things matter. I choose for this collection to be about things that bind, not separate us. I choose for this to be represented by my kin that wouldn’t normally appear in a marketing campaign. I choose better than our current political climate of hate and fear mongering, and making us feel like we don’t ‘look good on paper.

We are.

We are united.

We are powerful.

We are community.

We are all in this together.

We are more than our genders.

We are more than our sexuality.

We are more than our skin tones.

We have the same colour blood.

We strive for the greater good.

We breathe the same air.

We all want to belong.

We all deserve to feel safe.

We all strive for connection.

We all want to love, and be loved.

We all wish to be our best selves.

We all want to feel included.

We all have a history.

We all matter.
