About Candace Owens
Candace Owens, whose full name is Candace Amber Owens Farmer, is an American author, commentator, television producer, political activist, and YouTube personality. Despite initially criticizing President Donald Trump and the Republican Party, she became known for her activism as a pro-Trump supporter. From 2017 to 2019, she worked for Turning Point USA, a conservative advocacy group, as the communications director.
From working for Vogue magazine to writing her own books and being a communications director at Turning Point USA, the conservative author has earned millions from her many professions. After she was dropped out of university, Owens moved to New York where she found herself a job as an intern for Vogue magazine. She took a job as the administrative assistant for a private equity firm based in Manhattan. A few years later, she became the Vice President of that administration and earned an estimated $40,000 per year.
The keen supporter of Donald Trump gained fame after she became a conservative and began her political career. She was born on April 29, 1989, in Stamford, Connecticut, and was raised primarily by her grandparents because of her divorced parents. Candace is the third of four children, and her paternal grandfather is Robert Owens, a Black American that was born in North Carolina. She also has Carrbiean American heritage from her grandmother that originated from the U.S. Virgin Islands.
After graduating from the Stamford High School, she enrolled at the University of Rhode Island where she pursued an undergraduate degree in journalism but dropped out after her junior year because of payment issues with her student loan. Long before that, in 2007, when she was seventeen years old, Owens received racist death threat voicemail messages, in which the governor Dannel Malloy (at that time he was 14 years old) was present. Her family then sued the Stamford Board of Education for not protecting her rights. The end result was an estimated $37,500 settlement announced in January 2008. The legal issue also led to a TED x Talk and was covered by various newspapers.
In 2015, she began her political career whilst being a part of the marketing agency Degree 180. One year later, she launched a website that” exposes bullies on the internet” – “socialautopsy.com”. The creation of the website was highlighted by the media and met with mostly criticism for de-anonymizing the internet users and violating their privacy.
In 2017, she began working as a pro-Trump commentator who focused her attention on criticism of liberal rhetoric in regards to identity politics, structural racism, and systematic inequality. From her work in the conservative advocacy group, she began making an estimated $180,000 per year. By this time Candace Owens is estimated to have had a net worth of about $350 thousand.
Aside from politics, in September 2015, she created her own YouTube channel. The first video on the channel is “Mom, Dad… I’m a Conservative” and was uploaded in July 2017. She continued to upload sporadic videos such as “Feminism vs. Also Feminism”, “The Myth of the Coon”, and “Rape vs. Regret”. Now, her channel has more than 749,000 subscribers and her 168 uploads have gathered a total of 18 million views.

She has critiqued the Black Lives Matter movement, feminism, and welfare. Despite displaying her support for the same-sex marriage, she gained fame for her video on the ban of transgender individuals that are interested in serving the US military.
