From Stroke to Strength: How CreativeJunkFood’s Founders Overcame Adversity & Built a Legacy in Design

Candice opens up about the life-altering stroke she suffered in 2023 and how she courageously relearned to walk, talk, and rebuild her creative life while her best friend and business partner Nabeeh held down the studio through one of its busiest seasons. Together, they share the story of their 15-year journey, building a Black-owned creative agency that’s breaking barriers in an industry where only 0.1% of agencies are founded by women. Learn how they led major public art projects like the Go-Go Museum and the Marion Barry Legacy Project, and how resilience, friendship, and purpose continue to drive their impact. ✨ If you're a creative, entrepreneur, or someone who’s ever had to rebuild after a setback—this is the episode you must watch. 🔔 Don’t forget to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to support this channel and keep these empowering stories alive. 🔗 Stay Connected: CreativeJunkFood: https://www.creativejunkfood.com Instagram: @creativejunkfood
