Candace Parrish

Candace Parrish, Ph.D. is the founder and creator of Odelia, Marie & Patrice, LLC and Yellow Plate Vegan, LLC. Candace received an interdisciplinary Ph.D. related to the areas of Public Relations, Health Communication, and Visual Communication from Virginia Commonwealth University. After being recognized nationally and internationally for her research, she decided to apply her love for design and artistry with her research in health communication to make vegan, small-batch, environmentally friendly, and luxury art and body care products. Candace is an advocate for offering decadent products that provide “everyday luxury” to her customers and clients. With a special focus on herbs and herbalism, she puts great detail in making sure to utilize natural and organic ingredients to create the most healthy and decadent products. Through Odelia, Marie, & Patrice (OM&P), Candace also helps to pour back into minority community activists and social movements like prison reform. The boutique design company has gained attraction for its roots in activism and for its current campaign for Marqus Profic--this entails a high-end candle set in which 100% of the proceeds go to Marqus Profic’s attorney fees. Marqus Profic was wrongly convicted of murder and has been in prison for 18 years. OM&P’s campaign to raise funds and awareness for Marqus’ journey home is a meaningful one for the design company and a glimpse of the impact the organization will have in activism in the future.
