We were lucky to catch up with Kandie Marie recently and have shared our conversation below.

Kandie, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Do you take vacations? Why or why not?

That’s a awesome question. I haven’t had a real vacation in almost seven years. I know that sounds crazy but 99.9% of the time I travel is more business than pleasure. But this year I’m making that time for me and my babies to travel, enjoy life.

Kandie, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I am Kandie Marie. I am a published author and erotic poet under Racquel Williams Presents. I have been a published author for seven years, with 30 books and counting published, nine Amazon best sellers, and a great group of readers. I provide art in word form in my books. I believe on taking my readers on a journey. From erotica to paranormal I can write anything. I write all my books myself. I am also the ceo and founder of the Kandiey Shoppe llc. Where we believe consent and everyone is sexy! We host pop up shops, community events, fundraisers, private events, and more. We are currently expanding into the atlanta Georgia area. As we rebuild and grow the company founded 4.18.2019 we are coming into our fourth year and currently recruiting vixens and brand ambassadors.

Can you tell us the story behind how you met your business partner?

My co founders are so amazing! Sheka, Vette, cole, Lucy, Illadel and Sharell I love them sooo much. Sheka and vette I’ve known since I was 16. Cole I met around 2016 at my second book signing event. Lucy I met in 2017 as a amazing Burlesque performer. Sharell came to my first three events, and illadel found me via social media. All these ladies met me in different times in my life but believes in my vision and the company. They are not just my go founder’s they are my sisters.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

Networking!!!!! Networking is such a big thing. When I’m out rather if it’s dinner, a business meeting, a bar or whatever it may be I am always sparking up conversation. I love to talk to people. Social media is super great but there’s nothing like being able to get fresh air and network the person you may meet maybe your next customer or investor.
