?a girl + her books
this is my love story
did you know my first literary agent told me I couldn’t get a book deal, unless I had my own cooking show?
Did you know my first food editor told me not to cook Asian, because it would pigeon-hole me?
Did you know a really nasty person on Top Chef told me I would “fail horribly”. I indeed got into media very young... & I hated all the rules. & not everyone was nice to me.. they still aren’t. This is a tough gig + I commend all women who work to see dreams come to pass. I commend each of you — keep going!!! Ganbatte!!!! Can you imagine if I listened to what everyone told me? Can you imagine if I was discouraged?
Wendy Williams asked me on a live shoot this week, “are you back in love now?” I was taken by surprise.... I took a second & said, “I am in love with my work.” I’ve had these moments where I’m enjoying sunsets & curling up to a stack of books to read in bed. Society says we have to do a lot of things. My heart has always told me, “Candice, do what you want”. Good, bad, well, not well, all of it.
I got to sit with my beloved agents: Eve, Strand, JGoogs, Marissa + Francesco yesterday & we have lived a roller coaster of a career, together... no it has not been all roses. But together we pioneer—- we are going to start a new medium, a new endeavor, together... I hope you’re ready.. because this girl always does what she wants. Keep it going ladies.. do what you want in this life, not what society deems as normal.
You have this one life, dreams are what you make of them Xx ck
PS yes this is all of my real hair! & it’s fabulous
