WOMEN’s EMPOWERMENT written by: Kandace Campbell B orn on Chicago’s famous South Side, Kandace learned very early on the difference between being naturally confident and personifying “tough” to survive. It wasn’t until Kandace was accepted into one of Chicago’s elite suburban high school for girls, that she truly learned more about her self, women, and how perception plays a key role on a young woman’s confidence. It was there that she formed unbreakable bonds and vowed to commit her life to unifying women and surrounding herself with positivity. Kandace has been involved in her community for over 15 years. Whether Kandace was writing plays for churches and universities, or speaking to a small group of women or the masses on campus, she’s a firm believer in building confident women across the globe. ShoeKandi works alongside My Pretty Is, a program designed for young women ages 14-19 to embrace themselves. We speak on our “pretty” as intelligence, confidence, strength, and courage. We encourage our young women to see her value and know her worth. Our program is designed to motivate young women to see past the images projected on television, purge feelings of anxiety about appearance, studies, relationships, and fears, while unifying them through bonds they never thought they’d share. Our participants leave feeling refreshed, renewed, and respected as uniquely one her kind. Kandi has also created a Be Fearless Business Intensive where women (and men) who are interested in becoming business owners and desire to create powerful brands can work one on one with her to overcome the fears that are holding them back from being their best self and ultimately lead to a happier and healthier life as an entrepreneur. Look for more information on her Be Fearless Intensives in our next issue. 20 21
