Candy Foelix
A simple T-shirt idea turned twin sisters, Candy Foelix and Cindy Foley’s passion for hip hop into a leadership opportunity. Over a decade ago, they founded the Child of this Culture Foundation (COTC) based in Orlando, Florida, United States. COTC is a community-based organization that supports the development of breaking into the United States, protects the image of hip hop in educational systems, and empowers the next generation to find a voice through dance. In 2018, because of breaking’s debut at the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, the expansion of the Hip Hop Arts, Culture, and Sport Placemaking Strategic Plan formed the first idea to develop a strategic plan to assess the agency’s creative placemaking efforts to date and support research and development. Candy Foelix, president of COTC, works as an intuitive trauma coach, bodyworker, wife and mother of two with a hip hop cultural background. Her specialty is aiding people in healing through neuromuscular therapy, somatic therapy and myofascial release. She also contributes to BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine and is a freelance commentator for the Olympic Channel.
