peace - wishing you wellness and sending blessings. allisonjoy is a friend and she speaks of you with love and sisterhood - so i had to support!

Hi there, I'm Tine...I'm in Tara's dance crew MAWU. I'm unable to dance at your benefit tonight, but I wish you a speedy recovery!

Kandi I was browsing Feministe and never expected to see an article featuring my old mentor from the Womens Center! I'm so sorry to hear that you had fallen ill but am overjoyed to learn that you're healing. The articles I read about you were so well-written and such a good homage to your work and activism. I knew you were a badass but I didn't know quite the extent! Well keep on keepin' on Kandi, hopefully I'll see you around campus soon! Much love, Colleen from the WC

I relate to you on so many levels, and you've experienced institutionalized bullshit on so many levels. I find you so beautiful for representing your many intersecting identities and inspiring me to do the same.

I heard about this on Davey D's blog. I pray you get well soon and have a good recovery. It was great working with you at UC San Diego as you are an inspiration to all lovers of hip hop.

Rooting for you! And thank you for all you do.

See you soon, sista.

To my fellow holistic warrior, sending you much love, light and healing. Your triumph is ours. Thank you for breaking the silence and being an inspiration to us all.

love & more love to you, Candice!

Thank you for speaking out against weight bias in medical care and in our world!

With LOTS of love!!! <3 <3 <3

Sending support and love.

I love you sis...

Hey Candice, You're very important to me, to hip hop, to the community, and to our people. You've taught us how to fight and how to love.

I've got love for you and for everything you've done for us. I wish you a safe and easy recovery.

Kandi you'll overcome this obstacle. Keeping you in my prayers. Always, Bernard
