Obsidian: The Signature BLK is a luxe candle brand created by artisan/entrepreneur, Shanay Walker. Shanay stumbled upon candle making when she decided in March, 2021 to take a four month break from her previous employer. During that time, Shanay sought other jobs in her field (HR), and while doing so she pursued candle-making.

Initially, Shanay started with a couple of candle kits from candle suppliers such as Candle Science and Brambleberry. She found the process of candle-making to be extremely therapeutic and from there decided to share her hand-poured candles with the world!

Shanay, pursued and obtained her LLC, and tested for months before she finally launched in July 2021.

Since pursuing, she has become an artisan on the black, woman marketplace BLK + GRN, been a sponsor and apart of the 2022 Santa Fe Film Festival. A sponsor for New York Fashion Week 2022, a sponsor for The Heart of Oneness Expo in New Jersey and also been apart of numerous wholesale platforms.
