✨ Beyond silence ...
What if the very things that other people called “too much” or “not enough” about you could save your life?
Before even learning to speak, Candis sensed that crying wasn’t going to get their needs met, so they learned to be very quiet right from the start
As a child, others called their innate curiosity “annoying” and ignored them. Their Grammy, a professional opera singer, made them feel they couldn’t sing. And the hits just kept on coming.
Eventually, the joy, the play, the childlike curiosity - the very traits that others called “annoying”- literally saved them.
Candis’s life-long speaking journey eventually led them to understand that their voice is a gift. A gift that’s meant to be shared. To have an impact.
“Where I am wounded I also have the greatest kind of potency to give.” - Candis Fox

But, what if you are?
After all, when does bravery ever feel like bravery?
