Our Mission

At Equals Me, our mission is to empower everyone to embrace their unique selves—LOUD and PROUD—while raising awareness for the autism community. Our son is autistic, and every day, we get to see the world through his eyes—a world filled with beauty, creativity, and endless possibilities. He teaches us to think outside the box and reminds us that there’s always more than one way to do things. He is one of the biggest reasons behind the name Equals Me—a reflection of our family, our journey, and our commitment to giving back to the community. We want everyone to find a product that speaks to them, something that truly equals who they are.

What started as a self-care practice—making candles to help with my postpartum struggles—quickly turned into something bigger. I began bringing my candles to markets, using them as a way to connect with the community and spread autism awareness. I want the autism community to know they are seen, heard, and valued. I want everyone to know they are important. As a new mom, I know firsthand how easy it is to feel lost, to feel like you’re not doing enough. I want other moms to light my candles, hear my story, and realize they are superheroes—capable of anything. My goal is to spread the message that everyone is unique, and that is their superpower. No matter how hard the journey gets, I will always stand by that mission.
