Our story
Poured for the busy believer.
A Houston candle company built on faith, family, and the simple belief that a clean-burning candle can make a full day feel a little lighter.
Founder
Meet Porsha Kwasikpui.
Busy Believer Candles was founded in 2020 by Porsha Kwasikpui, who started pouring candles at home and hasn't stopped since. What began as a small, hopeful idea grew into a brand carried by hundreds of returning customers.
Porsha pours every candle by hand in small batches, choosing vegan soy wax, skipping the dyes, and setting a cotton wick in each jar. The goal has always been the same: something clean, honest, and made with care.
What we believe
Faith-forward, and proud of it.
The name says it plainly. This is a candle company for people with full hands and full hearts, the ones juggling work, family, and faith all at once. Our logo carries Psalm 37:1, and we keep that verse close as a quiet reminder to worry less and trust more.
“Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.” Psalm 37:1
Black-owned and women-owned
Busy Believer Candles is a Black-owned and women-owned small business. Every order supports an independent maker doing the work by hand, and every candle is a small vote for people who build things the honest way.
Rooted in Houston
You will find us at local markets around Houston, meeting customers face to face, learning which scents they love, and pouring the next batch accordingly. It keeps us close to the people we make for.
Made to be trusted
