On the other hand, struggling for several years as a single parent, Candace's mother made God, education, and family the focus of her children's upbringing. Her mother's strong spirit and independence only added to Candace's resolve to make a difference in the world. Today, Candace is a respected voice for the American spirit and is followed by a nationwide audience on social media, her show, and US Daily Review.
