Good Times Good People Good Vibes A Cup of Culture

    • Society & Culture

In this episode, you’ll hear from Colina Bruce, who has over a decade-long experience working in the nonprofit sector, specifically in education. Having grown up in an environment where she was oftentimes the only Black woman in her classroom or that her peers of color weren’t sought out due to lack of access and opportunity, shaped Colina to become a passionate advocate of education access and equity for all students.

Colina is now the CEO and founder of Noir Lux Candle Co., a Seattle-based candle-making company. She launched her candle-making business during the peak of the pandemic when people picked up different side hustles. Her biggest cheerleaders are her husband, her daughter, her mom, and her village of friends and family who believe in her vision.

Her few nuggets of wisdom:


“What’s for you is for you. What you do nobody else can do the way that you do it.”
Dream! But find a way to make that dream sustainable.
You don’t have to commit to doing something fully until you feel ready to make that decision.
