Candace Molatore - Self-love Advocate, Photographer, and Brand Strategist/Influencer

Get After It PDX

Hear self-made social media influencer, brand strategist and self-love champion Candace Molatore talk about her experience growing up in an adopted family in Oregon City and what is was like to have no one around that looked anything like her (the family that adopted her is white and nearly 100% of Oregon City), how that experience forced her to embrace and eventually celebrate her "otherness", childhood trips to nearby Portland to have her hair done and her perceptions of the city at that time, her interest in photography and the segue to social media and her life as an "influencer", gaining weight and how she flipped self-criticism and comparison to others into her current "self-love" philosophy that has had such an impact on herself and others, local Portland company Tea Bar and the job opportunity (that she still has) that grew out of a few Instagram posts she did to promote a place she loved, how she feels about the changing landscape of Portland and all that entails, what's to come in her burgeoning career, and much more!
