Candace was born in White Plains, New York, and grew up in Stamford, Connecticut. At age 8, the family moved into her grandfather's house because they were poor — their previous apartment building had cockroach infestations despite her mother's cleanliness. Her grandfather, who had started working at age 5 on a sharecropping farm in the South and ended his life by purchasing it after earning enough to retire comfortably up north, became the bedrock of her worldview. She describes him as a man with car grease on his hands and cash always in his pocket, whose patriarchal structure and work ethic shaped everything about her. A viral Congressional clip of him reacting to Ted Lieu's mischaracterization of her words — Granddad silently mouthing 'no she did not' — remains one of her most cherished memories of him.
