THE CHOCOLATE DROPS, Social Entrepreneur
"The Chocolate Drops" TCD are the creative collaboration between melanin abundant, identical twin sisters Cadence & Cole Ware. While growing up on the Monterey Peninsula TCD stood out not only for their academic achievements, athletic ability and double dose of artistry but for their skin complexion as well! People often made reference to their skin being as smooth, rich and desirable as chocolate. From birth, their mother would call them her "little chocolate drops" and from there the family nickname stuck. As they grew older, found their own identities one thing remained a constant in their life: the arts.
Cadence who began playing the drums in high school and Cole who had been drawing her entire life decided to pursue a career in their respective fields of music and art at the collegiate level. Cadence & Cole have built a Lifestyle and Entertainment Brand based upon a love for oneself often displayed in the form of music and art. TCD's main goal as entrepreneurs, brand ambassadors, artists, and models is to be another positive role model in the African American community. They want to show that anything is possible for any person, at any age, from whatever background through hard work, dedication, and faith.
