Candice Kemp-Smothers, 23, is a young entrepreneur and newlywed who owns Inertia Performing Arts, a small dance studio located in downtown Baltimore. While “Miss Candice” as she’s known by her students, is able to pay the bills, sometimes parents won’t pay theirs. Her business is not in danger of closing, but Candice is still scraping by financially. To make extra money she works at Tomorrow’s Child Infant and Child Development Center, her mother’s business.
