About Me

Candice Phillips (aka Candi Phillips), a former firefighter/medic, has scrubbed up crime scenes, traveled Egypt with Sufis, and encountered three serial killers. She launched her first company in 1989 quickly rising to the top one-percent of woman-owned firms. Two corporations followed. Her devotion to mentoring women/minority businesses and serving as a women’s business advisor to two presidents has taken her around the globe.

Kicked to the street at thirteen, Candice honed her entrepreneur skills by surviving each day. At fourteen, she began writing her experiences of living alone on the toughest streets in California. Her first book is based on her stories, now ready for publication.

MEDIA

Before retiring to the beach, Candice’s media experience included a mix of TV/Podcast/ Radio/Newspaper and writing monthly guest columns for a variety of industries. She was the focus of personal and expert profiles, feature stories, guest appearances and a frequently quoted source for reporters. Candice is also profiled in the book, “Women Who Paved the Way,” by E. Kearney, PhD.

Candi Phillips and her shaka surfing wife embrace the Aloha Spirit from their beloved home in Hawai‘i.

Welcome to my website-

For far too long, I’ve lived in the shadows of fear and silence, burdened by the unspeakable wounds inflicted upon me in childhood by those entrusted to protect. The police, meant to be our guardians, became my nightmare. But today, I stand unafraid, ready to break the silence. My journey of healing begins with sharing my story, shedding light on the darkness that has haunted me. I invite you to join me, to speak out against injustice, to reclaim our voices. Together, let’s pave a path towards understanding, empathy, and change.

MAHALO- I hope to hear from you soon,

Candi
