About this user
Author, talk show host, and public speaker, Candace E. Salima was born in the middle of twelve children. In a family comprised of his, mine and ours, Candace is the daughter of a father who survived the invasion of Hitler's war machine in his homeland and a mother who was an often controversial conservative columnist.
Born in poverty, Candace's mother made education, love, and family the focus of her upbringing. So much so, that poverty became secondary and the pursuit of knowledge everything. Learning, studying and expanding her mind was critical during Candace's childhood.
Candace attended Ricks College and Brigham Young University before striking out into the business world. With her parents being who they were, Candace studied English and American history, specializing in the WWII era. From that point on she embraced everything life had to offer. School, work, family, friends...she learned from them all, and took every opportunity that came her way.
It is this rich heritage she brings to Turning the Tide with Candace Salima.
The American Dream was something Candace learned of early in life and went after with everything in her. From her mother she learned, "if you are willing to work hard enough and long enough, there is very little you will not be able to accomplish." From her father she learned, "Protect America, Candace. Do not let what happened in Europe happen here."
As the years went on, Candace's life took many twists and turns, but she held to the teachings of her youth. And today she is respected by many, followed by thousands and the very epitome of the resiliency of the American spirit, the very thing she celebrates with her show, Turning the Tide with Candace Salima.
Candace is married to her college sweetheart and they have made their home in Utah.
