This incredible onstage memoir unravels at a quick pace – from Candace’s arrival in New York City with just $20 in her pocket, to features in Time Magazine, the New York Times and Variety Magazine, and interviews with Oprah Winfrey.
Always provocative, the literary phenomenon’s life story is crafted into an inspirational and entertaining stage show.
