CanDice is a United States Army Veteran, transformational speaker and multi-trauma survivor with over 20 years of experience as a leader, mentor, life-motivator, group facilitator, public speaker, ordained minister and thought-leader. She has built her life on the core values of family, compassion, servanthood-leadership and service. As a soldier, CanDice committed to protecting her country and as a civilian, she is still serving and protecting her community. During her time in service, she served in many capacities: Unit Supply Specialist (92Y), Union President, Public Relations Manager, Suicide Prevention Liaison, and Chaplain for her local Family Readiness Group. She has also made an impact in the mental health field by working with organizations serving the hopeless, homeless, unemployed and under-employed Veteran population.
In 2016, CanDice's family experienced the unthinkable...sexual assault destroyed her family. Despite the challenges created by this tragic incident, she and her children managed to turn their pain into purpose by using it as fuel to create the framework for an organization that provides a safe space for the intentional healing of others with similar experiences. Her goal is to help as many as possible, live a happy, healthy, healed and whole life by becoming emotionally-intelligent, mentally-resilient survivors...thrivers.
Beauty From Ashes Foundation, Inc. (BFAF) was formally founded in 2020 and has become a platform for her to share her story, minister to the community, and positively impact the lives of individuals from all walks of life. CanDice's military, academic and civilian background, coupled with her passion for excellence and her love for God, are the driving forces behind BFAF.
CanDice has a Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations and Communications, a Mini-MBA in Business Management for Military and Veterans from Rutgers University and is presently working on a Master’s of Science to become a Licensed Professional Counselor with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy. She also proudly serves as one of the first African American, female VPs for the New Jersey State Veterans Chamber of Commerce, where she presently serves as VP of Special Events and Community Outreach.
CanDice’s passion for helping others is supported by her strong belief that it is our responsibility to be the voice of the voiceless and to stand firm for what is right. CanDice works with individuals, groups, and organizations to identify their purpose, maximize their gifts, talents and resources to align their paths to a thriving life.

-Tara Miller
“CanDice has been so inspiring to me because of the way she faces the world, despite the nature of her circumstances, with boldness and confidence. Using her past as a stepping stone to create an empire that helps individuals mend the pieces and build themselves back up instead of staying a victim to a situation. CanDice has shown me that no matter how disheartening things may seem, you can overcome any obstacle with faith, determination and the right mindset. She’s a truly blessed woman.”
-Toni Carter
Client Testimonials
“CanDice, you are beauty FROM ashes! You’ve been dealt a couple of raw hands and in every situation, I have heard you tell me ‘something comes from it.’ Your life story reminds me of the prophets Hosea and Elisha. Hosea in that your life is an example of how to fully trust God despite what the circumstances look like. Elisha in that the love you give and show is unmatched. Your words change people’s hearts toward God for the better. Your beauty is in spite of the ashes, not just from them…”
“Minister CanDice has inspired me to approach life in a different way. I’ve learned to trust what the Lord has put in me through her leadership. She constantly and consistently speaks life into dead areas of my life. She has a way with words that speak to your soul because she is so in tune with God.”
-Michelle Stewart
“CanDice is always an inspiration. God has blessed her with unique insight. Her views always challenge me to think differently and consider new perspectives.”
-Gwen Williams
“Meeting CanDice has been an uplifting movement in my life. The determination and strength she possesses, in the face of adversity, is truly profound. Seeing her strength and smile has truly inspired me to want to take on challenges…with a touch of grace. My heart opens and I’m encouraged whenever I see her smiling through the hard times.”
-Pedro Robinson
Client Testimonials
“CanDice has inspired me to take care of myself before taking care of others. If I can’t take care of myself emotionally, physically or mentally, how can I take care of others? I needed to have balance in all 3 areas so that my family can have the best version of me and I can see myself flourish as well.” - Fred Johnson
“CanDice has guided me through so many tough conversations. My plans for my future are no longer what people want me to do or be. I must be satisfied with my own progress and determine whether or not I make myself and God proud of my works along this journey.” -Toni Johnson
“Our plans for our relationship and our family were all over the place! Once we experienced her vision board and anointing oil workshop, things began to fall into place because we walked away with a visual reflection of each other’s goals. …Since then, we’ve been able to stay on the same page with our goals in mind for our family legacy and structure a routine to help us accomplish our goals. We’re truly thankful and grateful.”
-Fred & Toni Johnson

“I don’t look anything like what I’ve been through.
I am no longer a victim or a survivor. I am a
THRIVER inspiring others to become the same.”
-CanDice Miller
Beauty From Ashes Foundation, Inc.
Beauty From Ashes Foundation, Inc. is an anti-sexual violence 501(c)3 organization founded in 2020 to help sexual assault victims and their support systems navigate through the process of healing and recovering from sexual assault. We will aide in creating a safe escape plan, accompaniment to court appearances, provision of safe housing, redecoration of homes, etc. Sadly, sexual assault is far more prevalent than most are aware. In an atmosphere where phrases such as “rape culture” and “me too” are coined to describe the historical and growing epidemic, we must not stand by and watch as lives are destroyed. Awareness, advocacy and assistance are needed from the community.
