I may have enjoyed myself more than the #SeniorDiamondDivas at the Bald Eagle Recreation Center. We had a great time making handpoured scented soy candles and chatting. Everything was simply amazing!!! 🤩🤎🙏🏾☺️🕯️#ASaturdayWellSpent #PricelessMoments #ThisIsWhatItsAbout #Community

A dominoes tower falls in place, if designed correctly. I've always enjoyed dominoes. It's when I get to the table with a counter and it because challenging. Math is not my strong area. I need pen and paper, calculator, fingers, maybe even toes😂. I still enjoy the game! My "perfectly imperfect" crafts are bringing me joy! Handmade is just that. There are minor imperfections. That makes a craft unique. No machines here...then again they make mistakes too🤷🏽‍♀️. My

I've received a few inquiries about three-wick candle making classes. I didn't realize it was so many three-wick candle lovers. Well...I'm bringing it to DC'a own Ward 7. This is a two-hour class that will take place the morning of December 3rd. Now that I have a location, it's show time. Come ready and prepared to hand-make your very own 16oz three-wick scented soy candle. Visit the "Events" page on this website to find out more. #SoyCandleMaking #Ward7 #MadeInDC #Keep

I truly feel like every class gets better😊. I learn more about myself each week and how I can make the next class better. I enjoy the process as well as being in the community. I can't thank Nkese enough for assisting me. It's great to collaborate with a fellow crafter & candle maker from DC. The partnership with the Department of Parks and Recreation is priceless. Check out DPR's website to find a date that works for you. #Thankful #SoyCandleMaking #FullOfGratitude

I'm not a pro interviewer, I'm just me. Check out my interview with Ms.Taylor from The Business Vision and Development Center. #OneStepAtATime #DontRushTheProcess #Community #TetheredCordAwareness #DIY #ArtsandCrafts #MadeInDC

I have my first official interview coming up. I found out about the Ward 7 Partnership from the Taste of Ward 7. Researching them further I found out about The Business Vision and Development Center. I reached out to Ms. Taylor & we are here. I can't be nothing except my authentic self. I'm not a video person...I take pics but the video is different. Thanks for making me feel comfortable Ms. Taylor and I appreciate you for spotlighting my business! Tune in on October th

I attended an event at the awesome Anacostia Arts Center that Black Social App hosted. The room was filled with great vendors that had goodies for all to enjoy. The energy was great and it really felt amazing to be in their presence. I’m sharing the goodies I purchased and the video that Princess, the owner of “Official Royal Watch” took at my table. 🤎 #Community #Juneteeth #FathersDay

I started the application process last year and didn’t finish it. I was introduced to “Made In DC” through a T&A I attended at the Anacostia Arts Center (great place for entrepreneurs by the way💯). I was also not familiar with the District of Columbia Small and Local Business Development (DSLBD) office. DSLBD is also a great resource for small businesses. I’m officially on the ”Made In DC” team! This means I have a lot of work to do and I’m looking forward to it. We’re

Today I completed my first candle making series with the DC Department of Parks and Recreation at Hillcrest. Class #8 is done! This attendees in this class were awesome like the others. Positive energy with an eagerness to learn filled them all. I’m so grateful for this opportunity. I learned a lot along the way. #WaxandWicks #NewConnections #HandpouredInDC #ScentedSoyCandles #CandleSafety #Community #TetheredCordAwareness #MyHappyPlace #TrustTheProcess #SmallBusiness #

What can I say? It brings me so much joy to watch the youth get excited. I held my first class of 20 people yesterday and it was for a DC chartered high school (this was a first too). It was a moment I’ll never forget. I had about 16 teens and three teachers join the class. I’m learning as well. Every class is different and I love that. The best part of this journey is being able to work in my community. 🤎 ”It Takes A Village”….the candle in this post was made by one

Visiting the recreation centers in the city is quite an experience. I’m so thankful for the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) giving me the opportunity. I enjoy being in the community with so many beautiful people! I’m still filled with all the joy from the class. It’s 11:06pm and past my bedtime☺️😴….I’m too excited to sleep🤎. #Community 👉🏾#FerebeeHope 👈🏾 #BlackHistoryFacts #DIY #HomemadeSoyCandles #HandpouredInDC #Gratitude #MyHappyPlace

Yesterday was the 2nd session of the DPR Wax & Wicks series at Arthur Capper Recreation Center. I enjoyed another great moment with an awesome group of people. I’m thinking of ways to make the experience better🤔. This is a Dream🤎! I love crafting and having the opportunity to share candle-making with others. It’s priceless to me. I finally took the time to take a few pictures. #OneDayAtATime #Therapeutic #Introvert #Grateful #AnotherDayToGetItRight #Community #Ward7f

Yesterday was amazing! I hosted my first candle making class of the year and loved it. I’m so thankful for the people that attended it and the connections that were made. I‘m grateful for the opportunity to work with The Department of Parks and Recreation again! January has been tough. I use to love the fresh start of the year. So much has happened, in January, within the last couple of years that I don’t feel the same. I needed yesterday to happen. #Gratitude #Communit

I’m so excited about the opportunity to partner with DPR to provide candle-making fun classes! Their “Friday Night Hype” series is targeted at teenagers and young adults. It‘s summertime and a lot is going on in our city! Being a part of this series is so important to me. The first class was my first big class (about 13 people) and we had so much fun! I tried to have an age restriction😂. Didn’t happen🤷🏽‍♀️. When the “10-year-old “ stopped by and told me “I’m a teenag
