The Story Behind Our ‘Liquid Soul’ Luxury Candles
I am super excited to unveil Phase III of MONARCH! This Phase was definitely a different experience from the first two. A new level of precision, science and care was required and I wanted to take my time with it. It also called for me to reach back to a time, that was exceptionally joyful, where I met some of the most amazing artists in spoken word. They, as well as others in the Houston poetry family, are responsible for helping me find my voice of expression.
These poets (SE7EN, Deep Blue See, Bar None, Equality, Punkin from Pluto, Killa Whale + DJ Supa Star) gave me permission to delve deeply into what I wanted and needed to express without criticism or judgement. It was pure love and acceptance as a young poet to the line-up. Their unique combination of uninhibited technique, unfiltered creativity and truth-filled poetry formulated the group ‘Liquid Soul’. They were fluid. They were powerful. Their individual and collective energy was contagious, incredibly conscious, phenomenally flawless and something to marvel at every single time they made an appearance.
They each had and have a very special impact on me, even to this day. As I write this tears are forming, because of what they’ve knowingly and unknowingly contributed to my personal growth on many levels. Their artistic presence has honestly gotten me through some of the most difficult times.
Phase III features three scented luxury candles, with ‘Liquid Soul’ as the signature scent.
Liquid Soul (No. 1) features a rich aroma of creamy French vanilla with warm white musk that creates the perfect balance between masculine and feminine. The fragrance is made from vegetable based oils, non-toxic, not overpowering to the senses. Liquid Soul gives off the perfect amount of aroma designed to captivate and enhance your well-being; mind, body and soul.
Magnetism (No. 2) features a romantic scent that engages the senses with a warm heart of sandalwood and patchouli that blends with jasmine blossoms. Rich undertones of musk are sweetened with precious amber and hints of vanilla. A lingering accent of cocoa bean creates a heady twist for the scent.
Ascension (No. 3) is a fragrance that carries an invigorating herbal blend of eucalyptus and spearmint with fresh citrus lemon, lavender flowers, and a hint of sage. This candle will elevate you consciously and spiritually above your troubles to a space of stillness.

I am so grateful to The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, who is the head of the Muslim Girls’ Training & General Civilization Class in The Nation Of Islam, and the creative space we are given, without measure, to truly delve into our God-Given gifts. I’ve made many candles before as a professional sports massage therapist, yet, it has been 5 years since being inspired to get back to engineering them. This round of luxury candles is driven with an entirely different spirit and mind. My love and gratitude also extends to my dear Sister Naeemah Muhammad for her vision and execution of our national class!
As a reminder, MONARCH is designed to raise funds for the Annual Saviours’ Day Gift drive! Every year members of the Nation of Islam and our friends and supporters give an expression of love to The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan as a show of gratitude and personal appreciation for his many years of dedicated service to the uplift of our community and all of humanity. This upcoming year marks his 65th year of service, and this contribution will help him continue his great work!
