My name is Maiya Eldridge and I am the proud creator of Mudii Candles. Mudii stands for misunderstood individual and was a name I created for myself when I was only 12. I was born in NY, spent my youth in GA, and my teenage years in NC, and now I am exploring my adulthood in CA. With a ubiquitous influence of the places I’ve lived, I also found myself very lost in my understanding of self and went through life always feeling a bit misunderstood. What my journey had taught me was that I was not being misunderstood by others, but I misunderstood myself, and more than that I didn’t fully respect myself. Mudii represents my self-love story and candles represent hope, persistence and comfort. Mudii’s purpose is to bring together like-minded individuals who are actively on this journey of self-awareness and self-love.
