Born and raised in Tampa, Florida. Candis Perdue is a single mother of a 15-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl. She began writing short and creative fictional stories during her primary school age. It was during those early years that she discovered that not only was writing a hobby or a past time, but confirmed by one of her then teachers, a true gift and talent which was highlighted and encouraged and confirmed by a special teacher. She continued to write fictional stories throughout grade school but, it was during her high school years that she would begin to use her craft of creative writing to entertain friends and communicate the unspoken. Writing fictional stories would soon develop into poetry and spoken words and in turn unconsciously become a therapeutic method that she would use to later overcome self-esteem and anxiety issues. Her writing style reveals intimate feelings of self-doubt and self- worth from many perspectives. However, the shared insight embedded deep within her words not only allows those to hear them to empathize, but it simultaneously leaves them with encouragement, motivation, affirmation, and insight.
