We had the good fortune of connecting with Candice-Aisha Eldridge and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Candice-Aisha, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
My thought process when it came to starting my own business was simply being a BOSS! I’ve always had the drive to Wanna start my own business. I was just undecided on what exactly I wanted to do. I was nervous but I just woke up one day and decided why not do it and do it now. It’s worth a try.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m currently in the medical field. I feel I’m different from many because I genuinely emphasize with others and I’m getting caring. I give 100% in all that I do even when I feel like giving up. Reaching this point professionally wasn’t an easy task! There were many ups and downs but I continuously kept telling myself, if I didn’t complete the task and stop here … it would be a waste and giving up isn’t an option.

CandyGyrlCosmetics is my baby! A family oriented business that has something for each and every person. And I can’t wait to see what else is in store for us !

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I wanna thank my mom first and foremost! She & God are the reason I am the woman, mother, daughter, sister… Business Owner… I am today. I wanna thank my sister Aleeah & my friend ty for always pushing and motivating me. Staying up late nights and early mornings to help me prepare for what’s up next! I wanna shout out my biggest cheerleaders, my biggest motivators … my babies Jaiden, Ava & Jamari! You three are the reason mommy is going so hard! Without y’all I am nothing. I got y’all. We got each other! And lastly I wanna shout out myself! For all the hard work and dedication I put in. Still pushing through during days and nights when I wanted to give up.
