NEW YORK, NY - January 9, 2023 –  Cecilia's House x The 125 Collection's first collaboration, the Dear Black Girl candle, combines the love of luxury candles with principles of design psychology proven to enhance one's outlook on life. A custom fragrance candle created by Valerie Wray of The 125 Collection with a manifesto for Black women and girls designed by Kadisha Phillips of Cecilia's House. Each time the candle is lit is an act of self-care and self-reflection.
