Our Story

We are two sisters who always had creative ideas and finally decided to act on one. We decided to try our hands at candle making. I (Kala) am a stay home mom of five soon to be six and me (Lateefah) having to be home to watch my two kids because of COVID what better time than now! Although we have only been in business a few months, we have learned so much about the science of candles and building a business. We currently work out of our homes and have succeeded in adding new products, like our candle coasters, and different wax, scent, and size options. We are continuing to create and build and brand ourselves.

We are the owners and creators of Femme LaKá pronounced Luh (for Lateefah) and Kay (for Kala). We specialize in hand-poured soy and our newly added beeswax candles. We have also started to make our own candle trays that we are very excited about. We are very proud because we are inspiring our kids to start their own business and seeing us work hard motivates them! I believe what sets us apart is we try to ensure quality and all of our products are made with love and light!

Our friends/family. They have given us so much constructive and positive feedback that has helped shape the caliber of our products and brand. They are constantly supporting us by buying all our different merchandise, shouting us out on social media, and helping us at events. Also, our kids are a great support, they constantly want to help, and they give us opinions and suggestions on different fragrances we should use
