Meet Anais Magee | Candle Maker

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

Hi Anais, can you tell us more about your background and the role it’s played in shaping who you are today?
I was born and raised in Southern California. I was raised by a single mother, who had sickle cell anemia. She didn’t let sickle cell anemia define who she was. She taught me to never let your circumstance fine who you are. She taught me to keep God first and everything else will fall into place. She also taught me when something is difficult don’t give up. Keep learning about the thing that is difficult until it becomes easy.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am excited about expanding outside of just candles. I just launched a room and linen spray line. I know summer just started but we are getting ready for the fall and winter. We have some great products coming out. I can’t wait to share them. Owning your own business is never easy but with hard work and dedication it will be worth it in the end. There have been so many challenges. Mostly it has been me getting out of my own way. Not letting me stop me. I constantly push forward because I know I have a product that the world needs. I want the world to know it doesn’t matter how your story starts but it’s about the pages in between.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I love walking the Belt Line. If one of my friends were to come into town, we would definitely go to the belt line. While we are there we might as well go to Ponce City Market. Going to the Georga Aquarium or the Coca-cola Factory. If its not too hot or cold, we can go to the Botanical Garden. I also just like to drive around and find new places.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to shout out my son EJ. Honestly, he keeps me going every day. The days that I want to throw in the towel and just give up on my dream. He knows the right words to keep me going. He is my biggest motivator. Also my friends and family who also keep me motivated.
