As a child, Erica learned the language of light from within darkness. Locked away in a small closet for three endless days, she faced a silence so heavy it pressed against her chest like the night itself. But even there—in the suffocating black where fear could have easily swallowed her whole—there was a pinhole of light. Barely visible, it glimmered like a single star in an otherwise empty sky. That tiny beam became her anchor, her whisper from the divine, teaching her that sometimes hope doesn’t roar—it flickers softly, just enough to remind you that you are not forgotten.

​

Those three days became more than a memory; they became a revelation. In that sacred stillness, Erica began to understand what it meant to see with her spirit. The faint glimmer wasn’t just light—it was presence. It was as if God Himself had poked that small hole through the darkness so she could glimpse eternity, reminding her that even the smallest bit of light can hold the strength of the heavens. Within that space of confinement, she discovered the beginnings of her faith, her resilience, and the quiet power of creation.

​

Years later, that same divine spark would guide her toward her life’s work—a passion for creating products that bring others into sacred, peaceful spaces. Every candle she pours and every fragrance she blends is a tribute to that single star she once clung to. Each creation carries with it an invitation to breathe, to feel, to remember that light can find its way into even the tightest, darkest corners of life. The glow of her candles mirrors that childhood miracle—a promise that hope, no matter how small, can transform any darkness.

​

Now, when Erica shares her work with the world, she shares more than beauty—she shares her story of awakening. What once felt like isolation has become illumination. The child who stared at that tiny pinhole of light has become a woman who spreads it freely, crafting moments of warmth and divinity for others. The light that once saved her now lives in every product she creates—guiding hearts toward peace, one gentle flame at a time. As she often says, “A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.” And as her favorite song (I AM LIGHT by India Arie) reminds her, she is that light—unbreakable, eternal, and radiant, shining from the darkness she once endured.

​

“The light within me was never meant to stay hidden. Each time I share it, it multiplies in the hearts it touches—proof that even a single flame can awaken the divine in another.”
