ABOUT GOLDEN BLK

More Than a Candle. More Than a Space. A Place to Belong.

Golden BLK was never just about candles. It was always about people. About space. About purpose. About community.

From the very beginning, founder Ebony Burks envisioned more than a product — she dreamed of a place where healing, celebration, creativity, and connection could burn bright, together.

Inspired by the deep legacy of her late grandmother — a woman known for her warmth, hospitality, and her gift for bringing people together — Ebony is carrying that torch forward. Her grandmother’s spirit lives on in every corner of the lounge: in the way guests are welcomed, in the conversations that flow, and in the intentional details that make each visit feel like home.

December 2021, Ebony secured studio space in downtown Dallas and officially opened in February 2022; Golden Blk Candle Lounge was born - a warm, inviting space that encouraged people to gather, explore their senses, and participate in the unique joy of candle-making.

Today, Golden BLK Candle Lounge stands as a living testament to Ebony Burks’ unwavering commitment to community and shared experience — a tribute to the legacy of her grandmother’s love, hospitality, and celebration.

More than just candles, Golden BLK is a space where people come to connect, create, and awaken their senses — much like the gatherings her grandmother once lovingly hosted. As Ebony lights the way with her sustainable, luxury candles, she continues to kindle something even deeper: a spirit of belonging. One that ensures everyone feels welcome, every moment feels intentional, and every scent tells a meaningful story.

Golden BLK is more than a candle lounge. It’s a community hub. A creative sanctuary. A safe space to pour, reflect, and be seen.

We don’t just create candles, We create experiences, We hold space, We build community - We pour light.

MEET OUR FOUNDER

A dynamic visionary rooted in Dallas, Texas, Ebony Burks turned a moment of global uncertainty into a beacon of creativity and connection. During the height of the pandemic, she created Golden BLK Candle Lounge, a space where light, comfort, and community converge. What began as a candle brand quickly blossomed into a cultural hub, blending creatively, wellness, and community.

Ebony is more than an entrepreneur. She’s a skilled event curator, a passionate educator, and a natural gatherer of people, she leads with heart, intention, and innovation.

Her love for food, music, and meaningful conversation shines through every Golden BLK event — but it’s her deep devotion to family and friends that grounds everything she does. For Ebony, community isn’t just a concept — it’s a way of life. And through Golden BLK, she continues to pour that love into every scent, every space, and every shared moment.
