About Me
Candice 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.
