WOMAN OF THE YEAR
When life changes the course of action you have planned, change your plan of action and keep your goal.
Candace P. Fleming
Her journey has not been without struggle. In 2015, after the birth of her daughter, Candace faced a serious health crisis that left her hospitalized for two weeks and unable to care for her newborn. Later diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, she required round-the-clock care and faced the emotional toll of new motherhood while managing an invisible illness. Through it all, her spirit never wavered. She kept reminding herself, “Tomorrow will be better than today.”
And it was.
Today, Candace is healthy, hopeful, and whole. She continues to be a constant light to those around her—encouraging others to see the bright side, live intentionally, and embrace their God-given purpose.
