Immediately after completing Spelman, Candice continued her pursuits in journalism in the graduate program at New York University. While there, she honed her skills as a reporter interning and working for various publications, networks and radio stations, including Newsday (Review Crew), ABC Daytime (Youth Marketing Consultant), MTVU (The Freshman) and Hot 97/Emmis Communications (Promotions Assistant/Board Operator). While growing as a journalist and burgeoning media personality, “Ms. Drama's” talent and passion for talk became recognized in the industry.

She served as the afternoon drive personality reporting entertainment news and gossip as well as conducting artist interviews for a two-hour Monday– Friday show. In addition to her comical news segments, Candice started to gain notoriety for her edgy interviews and subsequently started to be called "Drama Queen" by independent and established artists. The name soon evolved into Ms. Drama a year later. For the past seven years, Candice Williams has been making her mark in the industry as an event host and media personality. He resume includes co-hosting an international hip-hop show on Sirius Satellite radio with DJ Bijal (2009) conducting interviews with artists on her Public Access TV show, Ms. Drama TV (2008-2009), putting artists in the “hot seat” on her weekly online radio shows on Break Thru Radio (2008 – 2014), and blogging on her entertainment news and gossip website msdramatv.com.
In 2013, Candice was casted as the lead media personality, Ms. Drama, on the VH1 network series, ‘The Gossip Game’. Similar to her day-to-day as a journalist and interviewer, the show offered a glimpse into the world of a vivacious and talented media personality and celebrity interviewer.
