One Chapter Soy Candles
This product was recommended by Torrey Sanson from One Chapter Soy Candles
One Chapter Soy Candles was founded by my mom in 2006 after her 16 month battle with breast cancer. She loved making candles and decided to name the compnay One Chapter Soy Candles because she believes cancer was only one chapter in her life, not her whole book. I loved going to farmer’s markets with her as a little girl.
I loved to see the joy that her candles and story brought to people. The business faded after a little while, which saddened me. Now, 14 years later, I have decided to get the business back up and running. I have such a desire to share that joy with so many people! One Chapter Soy Candles is 100% women-owned and operated. We pridde ourselves on a great product and great customer service!

Women have made an incredible effort in joining the workforce, earning respect, and ascending to the highest position in the field. Once Sanaz found her passion for diamonds and started her first step into the diamond world, as the diamond industry is notoriously male-dominated, she wasn’t treated as her expected. However, external factors and pressures haven’t paused her passion; she went to GIA and got certified in diamond grading. Her talent combined with diligence contributes her excel in the pursuit.

Lily Kastur brand makes Modern Workwear for Women so, the idea itself encourages women to look gorgeous, intelligent, and practical at their work offices. I think women at their work, need good fabric quality to feel comfortable and confident, and also, they need the outfit that helps them to look serious when it comes to work or business but also, shows their personality confidentially, and that’s what Lily Kastur does.
Divine Chocolate
This product was recommended by Dana Swinney from Dana Swinney PR
Ethically produced, Divine Chocolate is made with cocoa from Ghana, grown by the farmer members of Kuapa Kokoo. Kuapa Kokoo is a co-operative of cocoa farmers with over 85,000 members, over a third of whom are women. The co-operative emphasizes equal participation and equal access for women in cocoa farming, who have traditionally owned smaller farms and have less access to education compared to their male counterparts. Divine is the only Fairtrade chocolate company co-owned by cocoa farmers. Divine’s Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Truffle bar celebrates the collective efforts made by Divine and Kuapa Kokoo to empower women. Educating women improves their farming skills, provides opportunities to earn additional income and take on leadership positions, and influences their children to remain in school longer.
At Kuapa Kokoo, the cocoa farmers’ co-operative in Ghana that owns 45% of Divine Chocolate, the encouragement and mentoring of women has always been a priority, and thousands of women have learned income-generating skills that help bring money into the family when there is no cocoa to sell. About a third of Kuapa Kokoo’s membership (over 80,000 farmers) are women – yet, although many women have now risen to positions at national level, the proportion of women members is not yet reflected in the elected roles farmers can contest within the organization.
A survey shows that a significant cause may be the disparity in the literacy levels between men and women – illiteracy amongst the men is 65% while amongst the women it is 85%. To address this, Kuapa Kokoo is using financing from Divine’s Producer Supporting and Development fund (PS&D) and support from the Ministry of Non Formal Education to run adult literacy classes primarily focused on women. Literacy and numeracy classes have started which are run for two hours three times a week. These quite intensive programs have enjoyed really high attendance.
They have shown quickly how dramatic just a little learning can be. Just learning to write your name puts you in this position of being able to sign for things, and recording transactions. Learning to recognize and read a few local and common words is a step forward in negotiating your way around your world. When women gather for literacy lessons and skills training they learn more than what the class is teaching. It confirms to them how important and useful education is and makes them more likely to insist on their children going to school and not working on the farm.
