About Me
Welcome—I'm Candace R. Owens, a poet, mother, and visionary founder of Poetry Pioneer LLC, based in the heart of Kentucky, USA.
For me, poetry has never just been words on a page—it has been a lifeline. A way to process life’s beauty, its heartbreak, and everything in between. From a young age, writing became the place where my voice found power, and my pain found purpose.
My path hasn’t been easy. I’ve battled stage 5 endometriosis, endured eight abdominal surgeries, and in 2016, I faced a life-threatening medical complication that forever changed my perspective. I survived what I wasn’t supposed to. That experience became my spiritual awakening—igniting a deeper connection to faith, creativity, and the unshakable belief that we’re all here for a reason.
In 2024, I published my first book, The New World Light: Poetic Affirmations to Create Heaven on Earth, which went on to win an International Impact Book Award in poetry. One of its featured poems, Please Be Kind, touched hearts across the globe—garnering over 11,000 likes on Instagram, reaching over 1.9 million people, and eventually becoming an AI-generated song and the theme for my cable show, Candace Moments.
But my mission extends beyond the page. Through Poetry Pioneer, I’ve launched a global creative movement that blends storytelling, technology, and soul. I host an international poetry podcast and produce TV shows in collaboration with Arts So Wonderful and CCTV Vermont, giving voice to creators from all walks of life.
Everything I create is rooted in love, light, and the belief that words can change the world. Whether you’re here to heal, express, or simply feel seen—I welcome you. Let’s co-create a future where kindness leads, creativity heals, and technology reflects the very best of our humanity.
Join the movement. Share your light.
My mission is to awaken hearts, uplift spirits, and spark transformation through the healing power of poetry and storytelling. I believe words hold the frequency of change—and that even a single verse can be the light someone needs to keep going.
Through Poetry Pioneer, I’ve created a soul-led platform where writers, dreamers, and truth-tellers from all over the world can come together to create, share, and inspire. In partnership with Arts So Wonderful, I use the power of podcasting and cable television to amplify these voices—reaching across borders and into hearts.
This isn’t just about poetry—it’s about purpose. It’s about building a creative sanctuary where vulnerability is honored, authenticity is celebrated, and collaboration fuels positive global impact.
If you believe in the magic of words and the movement of light, I invite you to join us. Let’s build something beautiful together—one poem, one connection, one story at a time.
Reach out. Connect. Create. The world is waiting.
