Kandis Florián lives life with her partner, Donovan, her children, Eden and Zander, her cat, River, and her jungle-sized collection of house plants. Originally from North Carolina, Kandis attended Appalachian State University where she earned her degree in Poetry and Gender Studies. She spent a few years in Nashville singing, writing, and recording music before moving to Durham where she diligently (and daily) learns the art of motherhood. Kandis enjoys off-the-beaten-path adventures, writing haikus, baking delicate confectionaries, and singing to her plants.
