Candace West

Born and raised in Atlanta, Ga, Candace enjoys finding new ways to surrender to the arts, whether she is acting, writing, dancing, or producing. She enjoys getting lost in the ancient fantasy worlds, and as a biracial female, she loves to bring her unique perspective to projects. Her recent project, I AM MARA, was nominated for Best Series at the 2022 American Black Film Festival (ABFF). She speaks English and German, and outside of her work in film, Candace plays in the United Women's Soccer League, and previously played at Vanderbilt University. She enjoys lots of family time and constantly looking for new ways to be the healthiest version of herself.
