Happy Birthday, Angela!

In honor of the January 26 being Angela Davis' birthday, we wanted to share more about this revolutionary, feminist who inspired our ANGELA candle.

Born in 1944 amid the fierce racial segregation of Birmingham, Alabama, Angela Davis emerged as a powerful voice for justice. Now 81, she has dedicated her life to challenging systemic oppression, advocating for women's rights, and transforming social justice movements.

More than an activist, Davis is a revolutionary scholar and author whose work continues to inspire generations. Her journey from a local spark to a global force of resistance demonstrates the power of unwavering commitment to change.

Why Angela Matters
When we think of Angela Davis, two words resonate: revolution and transformation. Her life's work centers on dismantling oppressive systems, connecting struggles for liberation across race, gender, and global boundaries.

Our ANGELA Candle
Inspired by her spirit, our ANGELA candle features Palo Santo—a wood traditionally used for cleansing and protection. Like Davis herself, this scent represents the power of burning away old systems to make space for new possibilities. One voice. Endless impact.
