Author, journalist and TV presenter, Candice Brathwaite started utilizing the internet in 2015 to tell her own motherhood story. Keen to show that young black families weren’t just surviving but thriving, her straight-talking, original content struck a chord with fans and brands alike.
A self-confessed beauty and fashion obsessive, Candice has a style segment on Lorraine on ITV where she has become known for gently encouraging people to be bolder about embracing colour in their wardrobes.
Candice is a Contributing Editor to Grazia and regularly appears on radio and television news channels to talk about maternal mortality rates for black women in Britain.
Her debut book I Am Not Your Baby Mother – about being a black British mum – was published in 2020 by Quercus, and made the Sunday Times Bestseller list.
