Welcome to Fight in Progress!
Move over Miss Congeniality. Miss Arizona, Candace Kanavel is out here arresting bad guys while wearing a crown and sash... okay maybe not at the same time. Today we are joined by the reining Miss Arizona as she shares her story about law enforcement and pageants and how she strives to help other women, of all ages, feel empowered.
"Candace is a dedicated police officer and the driving force behind ‘Yes She CAN,’ her initiative that focuses on bolstering confidence and capability among women. With a firm belief in the importance of self-defense and situational awareness, Candace has channeled her expertise as a law enforcement professional to create a platform that equips women with essential skills. Candace’s commitment to service shines through her work with ‘Yes She CAN’ and other organizations that help victims of domestic violence, child abuse, and human trafficking. Her dedication extends beyond her role in law enforcement as she actively contributes to building a society where women feel empowered, secure, and capable." - From Miss USA
