Black Business Spotlight: Coach Candice

In 2016, when Candace Ellis started her home and community-based consulting service—C. A. Ellis and Associates—she faced a number of challenges. 

“I was working for a business for 15 years,” said the 42-year-old. “I stepped away to complete my practicum [on-the-job experience] in psychology. I just couldn’t manage being in school, doing the practicum, working as the COO for this business, as well as being a single mom.”

“Hard work and dedication pay off; that even though your journey may not look like others – you write your own path. I was constantly questioned about my decision to go from a Bachelor in MIS, to MBA to MS in Psychology – others didn’t see my vision; however, I did. It is my unique skills that coin the title of Coach Candice and Therapist for Entrepreneurs.”
