Who or what is your inspiration in business?

As a single parent navigating my daughter’s ODD diagnosis. I searched for ways to strengthen our bound & discovered candle making was a calming space that brought us closer. This experience inspired me to help other mothers facing similar situations. All credit goes to GOD for guiding me, strengthening my faith, and placing this vision in my heart.

How do you stay motivated?

I know that God wants me to help show others that it’s more to candles than just fragrance ; they are a connection to healing and purpose. As a mother my daughter will always be my baby and remembering there are parents who long to strengthen their relationship with their child inspires me to keep creating candles.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Honestly I would invest in expanding Smith Sweet Infinity Candles LLC through increased inventory, stronger branding, and marketing to build a sustainable legacy for my children. I would also launch Mommy and Me classes, Teenage Moms, and create a safe healing space for youth impacted by trafficking using my candles as a tool for connection, empowerment, & restoration.
