On Juneteenth, this small business owner makes space for big conversations
For Colina Bruce, founder of Noir Lux Candle Co., in Seattle, Washington, leaving education behind for her new business was hard. But as she prepares for local Juneteenth events, she shares that she still has meaningful teaching moments.
“As a Black business owner, often I’m asked to share a little bit about my story, or my journey, or my background,” Bruce said. “And so I get to facilitate conversations around these things while making candles.”
