ABOUT CANDRA
I’m Candra, the author of CancanRoynelle. I’m obsessed with matte lipsticks, brunch, and corny dad jokes (but I digress)! I’m a Liberian-American life and style blogger originally from Atlanta. I have always been interested in style and ensuring that whatever I wear matches my personality and fits my body.
After graduating from the University of Georgia, I moved to Cincinnati to pursue a Master’s degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Cincinnati. I landed a job after graduation at the university focused on corrections research. Realizing that this job was not my passion, I moved to the DC-Maryland-Virginia (DMV) to return to school – at American University – in Washington DC. My pursuit was another graduate degree more focused on my passion area and living a fashionable life in a bigger city. I’ve since returned to Cincinnati, working for a nonprofit advocating for police reform and accountability.
While the focus is primarily on fashion, I incorporate all subjects contributing to who I am. I’m a goofy girl who’s fluent in sarcasm. I’m proud to say that CancanRoynelle is an authentic reflection of the complexity of me.

WHAT I TALK ABOUT ON THE BLOG
STYLE
Style is personal and something that’s always evolving for me. Here, I talk about all things style: my personal style, my love for African prints, tips for styling items, shopping tips, and everything else in between. I typically publish style posts every Monday.
NATURAL HAIR
I’ve been natural for over 10 years now. My hair is something that I am still trying to figure out. So, I share my hair journey, how to tutorials, my hair routine, and so much more. I typically publish natural hair posts on Wednesdays alternating between beauty posts.
LIFESTYLE
Lifestyle includes everything else that doesn’t fall into the style, natural hair, or beauty categories. I focus on home, fitness, travel, and blogging know-how. Lifestyle posts are published on Fridays.
