Marisa's been part of the Predominantly Black story since almost the beginning — long before this was anything close to what it is now. Over the years, what started as customer and founder turned into something closer to friendship, built partly on things neither of us asked for: losing a parent, figuring out what comes after, learning to keep going without all the answers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis candle carries OPULENCE, one of our signature scents — warm, rich, sophisticated — poured as a companion to \u003cem\u003eWaiting for Dawn: Living with Uncertainty\u003c\/em\u003e, Marisa's book about exactly that: living in the in-between, before things resolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight it while you read.

Back when the business was still mostly an idea with a candle attached to it. She kept showing up, kept buying, kept telling people about it before there was much reason to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSomewhere along the way, we became more than founder and customer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe didn't plan that around anything easy. It came out of loss. I lost my father. Marisa lost her mother. Different losses, different timelines, but the same general terrain — the part where the ground shifts and you're left figuring out how to stand on it anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy father's passing left me part of an inheritance. I used it to help build Predominantly Black. It's not something I talk about often, but it's true, and it matters here: this business exists partly because of what he left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarisa's loss moved through her differently. It became \u003cem\u003eWaiting for Dawn: Living with Uncertainty\u003c\/em\u003e — a book about what it's like to live inside the unresolved parts of life, before there's an answer, before there's clarity, before dawn actually shows up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo different griefs. Two different things they turned into.
