Identity
“Our goal with this collection is to amplify LGBTQ voices and celebrate the cultural contributions that make our communities shine,” says Troy Riddle, founder of Transcend Candle Co. “ Each candle representing terminology and lingo that’s deeply rooted in LGBTQ culture, makes this collection as much about storytelling as it is about scent.”
