Gen Z Hands at Work!

For the very first time, Brooklyn Essence and its entrepreneurial CEO, Ms Natasha, have opened their hearts to the passionate generation of today by partnering with the Summer Youth Employment Program. In the first week, the curious young minds had many questions about the craft that is candle making.

Hear From the Young Workers

By the second week, we were practically pros, but we knew we were no where near Ms Natasha’s expertise! Even though we got the gist of candle making, decorating and packaging, we still have much more to craft and learn. Not only have we cultivated creativity in our work, but we are also learning to become determined and ambitious entrepreneurs who want to make their desired business’s a reality!
