We had the good fortune of connecting with Latraci Reaves and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Latraci, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
The thought process behind starting my own business, was to create a level of financial freedom for myself and my children to be able to have generational wealth for us and their children.

What should our readers know about your business?
Manifesting Healing & Hope, LLC (MHH Candles), was created based off of the needs of so many people in our world. I believe we need healing and hope. Healing to be able to have peace and happiness within. To be able to stand strong, to be able to stand against fear within. I personally believe everyone deserves happiness. Just at this moment we need a lot of healing. The word Hope comes because there are a lot of us in this world that just HOPE we can make it to the other side. Opportunities are rare, and not too many people talk about positive things, doing what makes you happy, where I come from. So HOPE comes from that small percentage of the people who are doing what we desire and dream. We provide Hope through positive notes we leave on the candles, hope through our Instagram authentic healing journey blogs, and we provide HEALING from the Aroma you allow in peacefully. Transforming your atmosphere is the start to releasing body boxins, and is needed in our self care.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My best friend has come to town and we first start off with a bite to eat in town with of course a margarita for the beverage. I love good food. On summer nights we would have to check out the River here in Rockford. That is my favorite place here. We would go to a beach in Chicago, or WI. I love a good road trip with good music. We are definitely going to have a good laugh, because the sense of humor is in me. We would have to take a flight to Florida to explore their beaches, malls, and restaurants.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
When I started Manifesting Healing & Hope, LLC I did not think I would be this far into business. Not being a full year into business and seeing a different level of success mentally, as well as within my business is truly a blessing. Being blessed with the opportunity to have my products placed in an actual store is something that I thank God for everyday! I met an amazing woman named Chelsea, and she is the most authentic young lady I have ever met. It is rare for me to meet another woman empowering, uplifting, and supporting other women to success.

Chelsea has opened her Floral Shop in Winnebago, IL where she offers not only MHH Candles a spot in her company, but other small business owners as well. She continues to dedicate so much time to us even to mentor when us gals are needed. She has shown me that she believes in us all. For that we all are so thankful.
