Overview

Candace Amber Owens Farmer ( Owens; born April 29, 1989) is an American conservative political commentator, author, activist, and television presenter. She gained prominence for her conservative views and outspoken commentary on various social and political issues. She has been recognized for her pro-Trump activism despite being initially critical of the former president of the United States Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Owens is also known for her criticism of Black Lives Matter and the Democratic Party. Owens worked for the conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA between 2017 and 2019 as its communications director. In 2018, Candace Owens co-founded Blexit along with former Tucson police officer Brandon Tatum. In 2021, she joined The Daily Wire, where she hosts Candace, a political talk show. Owens, who has expressed skepticism towards the extent of white supremacy's impact and has voiced opposition to both COVID-19 lockdowns and COVID-19 vaccines, has attracted criticism for disseminating conspiracy theories via her social media presence and media engagements. Early life and education Born in White Plains, New York, Owens was raised with her siblings in Stamford, Connecticut, by her grandparents from around the age of 11 or 12, after her parents divorced. She is the third of four children. She said her paternal grandfather Robert Owens, a black American, was born in North Carolina. Owens is also of Caribbean American heritage through her grandmother who is originally from Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. She is a graduate of Stamford High School. In 2007, while a 17-year-old senior in high school, Owens received three racist death threat voicemail messages, totaling two minutes, from a group of white male classmates. Joshua Starr, the city's superintendent of schools, listened to the voicemail messages and said that they were "horrendous". Owens's family sued the Stamford Board of Education in federal court, alleging that the city did not protect her rights, resulting in a $37,500 settlement in January 2008.
