"Everyone Ends Up Back At The Fish Market"

"There is enough space in the sky for all the stars to shine. The issue is that other stars around us don't believe that, especially when your light is coming from a vessel the world incorrectly told them shouldn't be the one. Don't dim your light because they live in the dark."

Welcome to Chapter Three, Episode Six of Conversations with Candice! Candice pushes through sniffle season to deliver one of the most fiery, truth-telling episodes of the season, tackling fashion ego, unapologetic Black beauty, and how to stop internalising hostile energy.

Inside the Dilemma Inbox today:

• Monday Musing ('Back at the Fish Market'): Inspired by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson's Front Row, Back Table, Candice reflects on how people treat you when titles drop, why corporate badges never define you, and remembering who holds your hand when the lights go down.
• Dilemma 1 (Unapologetic Confidence in Hostile Rooms): A voice note from a Jamaican-Canadian listener asks how to navigate walking into predominantly white events looking sensational, only to face cold, judgmental stares. Candice breaks down stepping out as an act of gratitude to God, turning down negative radio dials, and why dimming your light never keeps you safe.
• Housekeeping & Community Updates: Sniffle season remedies, Issey Miyake muumuus, and a debate on what to name the Substack paid subscriber community.

No experts, no perfection. Just real conversations about life as we're actually living it.
