WHO WE ARE

Support Other Women, Small-Business Owners While Expanding Your Network

Empowered Queens LLC was founded with one simple but powerful mission: to bring women together through support, empowerment, wellness, connection, and community. Founded by Candy Grande-Kegel, a Licensed Practical Nurse with over 16 years of experience since beginning her nursing career in 2010, Empowered Queens was created from a genuine passion for helping others and making a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Candy initiated the development and strategic planning of her Empowered Queens vision in September 2020 with the dream of creating something greater than a traditional women’s group — a meaningful and lasting community where women could genuinely support, inspire, uplift, and empower one another through all seasons of life.

OUR VALUE

Ready to Get Your Product Out There?

Throughout her years in healthcare, Candy witnessed firsthand how many women silently carry the weight of family responsibilities, financial stress, caregiving, career pressures, personal struggles, and emotional burnout while still trying to show up for everyone around them. She recognized the importance of creating a safe and uplifting space where women could feel supported, valued, encouraged, and inspired — not judged.

Discover the drive behind Empowered Queens

We’re passionate about helping and supporting women. In addition to having a network of women who think alike and want to succeed in life, we like to be able to support each other in many ways. Think of us as big sisters, friends, a family that can lend a hand, listen, travel, socialize, help you find resources in addition to supporting side-hustles into a full career that you can be proud of. And we don’t just talk the talk − our owner is a strong woman who is working diligently to create her successful business in today’s cut-throat world. You can rest assured that together we can accomplish our objectives while building a “social sorority” that:

  • Unites women from every ethnic background, sexual preference, any age and geographical area.
  • Recognizes the efforts and high demands placed on us by society, our need to succeed as women, as mothers, and professionals and welcome the idea of sharing and expanding our group
  • Is supportive because so often we sell ourselves short and need to hear kind and uplifting words to get us through many situations. As women we need to build each other up and not tear each other down.
  • Loves to socialize, create and participate in many community events including our very own Women’s Expo coming soon!
  • Empowers women to succeed and achieve many great things in their personal and professional lives.
