Summary

Candice Brathwaite shares my belief in consciousness, soul, spirituality – the innate power that exists inside us all. She's used it to overcome personal struggles, and to manifest her ideas into reality. All despite the world trying to silence her. Now a best-selling author of titles such as Sista Sister and Cuts Both Ways, and an influential voice sharing her story of black motherhood – Candice has battled through racism, beauty standards, and colourism. She's also received public backlash when she's broached taboos or fought for those made to feel "other" by society. But she approaches it all – the fun, the light, the complex and challenging – with positivity and joy. And this is because she realised she had "the key" to transformation inside herself all along.

1:05.2	Beautiful misfits have a sense of the other in their bones. On some deep level, they feel they don't quite fit the system.
1:13.6	Many never vocalise this feeling. They simply embody it in how they live as they push against the norms.
1:19.6	Others, however, speak out. They're vocal about questioning the accepted narrative.
1:25.6	And when they do, their internal sense of other can be
1:29.7	angrily projected back onto them by others. They're mad, angry, they're dismissed or ridiculed,
1:35.8	and it's hard. Feeling other inside yourself is one thing. Being vociferously othered and
1:42.7	critiqued by those around you is another.
1:45.8	And the space where this plays out constantly in real time today is in the world of social media.
