Season 2 ladies!!!! 
This month we are celebrating black history month , and taking the time to highlight some of our black women that are doing extraordinary things in their communities and the world .
We are so excited to talk with Diverse Shoes by Sydni Dion , along with the National American Miss Junior Teen Arica Haywood, and the National All American Miss Teen Darrea Frazier. 

If you don't know about Sydni Dion Bennet and Niki Bennet  check out their bios below they have single handedly started a shoe revolution for girls of all colors and ethnicities . With the slogan "Nude is more than just one color" let's get Candid with the ladies from Diverse Style by Sydni Dion.

Bios
Niki Bennett started her childhood career out as a model.  Being signed to one of the most prestigious agencies in the Chicagoland area as an infant led her to commercials for Sara Lee, photo campaigns for Sears and runway shows for several designers when she got older.  Now that she is a mother, she manages the careers of her three children.  Her eldest son owns his own clothing company, her younger son was a model and athlete, and her daughter was Miss Illinois Teen USA 2018, came in as third runner up at Miss Teen USA and is now a busy model and entrepreneur.  Professionally, Niki has been a judge at dance competitions and pageants across the country, an active member of her church for over 20 years and she owns several companies with her husband and children. Her proudest accomplishment to date is being co-owner of Diverse Style with her daughter.    

Sydni Dion Bennett attended Chicago Academy for the Arts where she was a dance major focusing on ballet. She was an impressively decorated regional and national winning soloist and co-directed a nationally winning dance team all by the age of 16. Due to a double hip injury, she had to discontinue dancing. She turned her loss into an opportunity to help others fulfill their dreams by starting her non-profit organization called Dream Katchers, Inc. which raises money for children in the arts who struggle with the finances to pursue their dreams.

Sydni Dion was crowned in 2018 as the first African American in the 34-year history of the organization to represent the state of Illinois as Miss Illinois Teen USA.  She finished the Miss Teen USA competition as 3rd runner up. During her reign, she worked with several organizations as a speaker and mentor to young girls She now has her own company which specializes in nude shoes for women and children designed by herself, named Diverse Style by Sydni Dion. She is also a signed and working model and most recently co-starred in a commercial for Too Faced Cosmetics.

The fun continues! 
Day 5 of the 10 days of Christmas. Christmas flavored snacks. It was a stretch for me  to try something new, something different, something out of the ordinary.  I can’t say that I found something that I liked when I was eating those very unique, flavors, but it did remind me that God does the same thing. There are times that HE asks me to do something, something way out of comfort my zone, but it’s always for my good. What is God asking you to do today? You can check out the podcast at Apple ITunes, Google Podcasts, & Spotify . For video check out the Facebook page : CandiceDawnn1 or the Candice Dawnn You Tube using the link below. 

Join us for Day 4 of the Ten Days of Christmas. Where we have some more Christmas fun by asking trivia questions, and try to “Finish the Lyrics” of some crazy Christmas songs.  Don’t forget to listen to the challenge of the day! Let’s make the best of the rest of 2020!

Day 2 of 10 Days of Christmas! Today we talk about Christmas traditions. I love family traditions, they are the things that can bring us closer together, the things that help create memories, and the things that can be passed on for generations to come. Hear about some of our  family traditions and learn about some very unique ones that happen around the world. 🎄

I'm backkk! Let me tell y'all this has been a season, but I am grateful for what God is doing for the rest of 2020. My daughter, KayDianna MacKenzie, and I are collabing our two channels to give y'all some fun content! We are spreading some Christmas cheer with "10 Days of Christmas". Everyday we will be posting content and counting down the days till Christmas! Day 1, we already had a blast with "Best Christmas Movies"! 

This episode is featuring Kim Hess, the Candidly Candice MIM award winner for the quarter. I like to give an award and feature someone who has definitely turned there mess into there message and Kim along with the rest of the Hess family has done just that. 
After losing their beautiful 16 year old daughter, Cassidy, to suicide in 2015,  the Hess family created the Cassidy Joined for Hope Foundation to make sure this tragedy does not happen to any other family in their community.  Cassidy Joined for Hope, Inc. is a national 501(C)(3) non-profit foundation focused on teen suicide prevention in the schools and community.  

Listen to her AMAZING story.. and check out the resources that she has on her website, www.cassidyjoinedforhope.com

THANK GOD FOR ANOTHER YEAR!  Happy Birthday to ME! Go Candice, its your Birthday! Enjoy!!
