Our Vision & Mission
At An Ancestor's Touch, our passionate mission is to illuminate living spaces
with eco-friendly, clean energy candles that infuse warmth and sustainability
into every home. We are dedicated to creating exquisite, high-quality candles
that enrich your surroundings and contribute to a greener planet for future
generations.
Our Core Values
At the core of our mission are the principles of S.A N.K.O.F.A, which guide
our unwavering commitment. We are steadfast in our dedication to
sustainability through the use of eco-friendly materials and practices.
Honoring and celebrating Black cultural heritage is at the heart of our
authenticity. We place immense value on knowledge, continuously educating our
consumers and innovating our offerings. Through outreach and community
engagement, we foster lasting and impactful relationships. Upholding
fairness, integrity, and transparency is non-negotiable in all our business
practices. Lastly, we drive advancement by empowering future generations and
investing in their sustainable growth.
About the Team
An Ancestor's Touch is powered by a dynamic two-person team led by the
visionary and dedicated Nicole Murphy. We are fervently seeking support to
develop a robust and sustainable business model. Our aspirations extend
beyond sustainable candles, as we aim to establish a sustainable gift shop
where individuals can craft personalized, sustainable gifts while learning
about sustainable lifestyles and practices.
Services and Products
An Ancestor’s Touch Products offers a captivating array of sustainable
products, ranging from soy wax candles to wax melts, with potential for
expansion to include other fragrance forms such as room sprays, car
fresheners, and incense. Our services include meticulously planned events
that center around sustainable practices, as well as operational excellence,
encompassing sustainable strategic planning, carbon footprint tracking, and
immersive workshops.
Reason for Joining the Accelerator
As newcomers to Kentucky, we are fiercely driven to seize the opportunity to
learn and grow through local networking opportunities. Community engagement
is at the forefront of our business, and we are determined to uncover organic
ways to do so. As a Black-owned enterprise, we face substantial barriers to
opportunity and access. The accelerator presents a vital platform to connect
with valuable resources, practices, and the crucial network we need to thrive
as a sustainable candle company.
