About the Book
Stop waiting.
Start becoming.
Manifest(o) is Candice Brathwaite at her most direct, most honest, and most empowering. Written for anyone who has ever felt like their ambitions were too big, their timing was wrong, or their background was working against them — this book says: enough.
Blending personal reflection with cultural insight and practical tools, Manifest(o) invites readers to reconnect with themselves, define success on their own terms, and move forward with genuine clarity and confidence. Not the performative kind. The real kind.
An instant Sunday Times bestseller upon release in 2024, the book has resonated with readers across the UK and internationally — cementing Candice's reputation as one of the most important voices writing about ambition, reinvention, and self-belief today.

What You'll Find Inside
The themes that run through this book
How to rebuild your relationship with your own potential — without waiting for external validation to give you permission.
The difference between wishful thinking and deliberate action — and how to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
Why changing your mind about yourself isn't weakness — and how reinvention is the most powerful tool available to any of us.
Reclaiming authority over your own narrative — your story, your timeline, your version of success.
A frank conversation about wanting more — and why ambition is not something you should ever have to apologise for.
Why joy is not the reward at the end of the journey — it's the fuel that gets you there.
