Our Story
-
Seka Candles is a black-owned business run by a one women team (Not sure if the word team still applies).
The inspiration for Seka Candles grew from not only being a candle lover but finding a sense of peace and tranquility through candles. I had struggled mentally for a long period and at my lowest was introduced to meditation during my therapy and coaching.
I soon became passionate about health, body positivity, well-being, and mindfulness which led me to the introduction of Seka Candles. This brand stemmed from my intentions to bring the peace and tranquility that I found in candles and deliver that to others.

What does 'Seka' mean?
The brand name Seka Candles originates from the Shona language in Zimbabwe, ‘Seka’ which translates to ‘laugh/smile’.
