Kobi co.
“It’s just something about our vibe– it’s familiar, it’s warm, it’s comforting, it’s spiritual. And it’s raw, and it’s real, and I feel like we just do it different.”

Year: 2020
Owner: Kobi Gregory and Tasha Harris
In 2020, amid the stress of the early COVID-19 pandemic, distance learning, and growing political and social unrest, Kobi Gregory found herself searching for ways to slow down and focus on self-care. Along with her mother, Tasha Harris, Kobi launched Kobi Co., a candle company that centers on intentional care and wellness. A portion of the profits went to a college fund for Kobi, who was only seventeen at the time. The fund eventually expanded into a scholarship for BIPOC women. The business is an outlet for Kobi’s creativity. She enjoys crafting personalized playlists to accompany her unique scented candles. Kobi Co. also offers bath products, gift sets, workshops, and more!
