Candice Sabiduria is the Founder of To Be Seenn. She built her career as an international curve model and creative director, while channelling her work as a culinary creative into her commitment to public service.

The idea for To Be Seenn began with a conversation, and the idea to reimagine what food philanthropy could look like. Candice met a man experiencing homelessness who became her friend, and their conversations stayed with her long after. Later, during a stay in Cape Town, the idea took shape.

"I didn't set out to start a nonprofit. Cooking has always been how I show love, and I just wanted him to know he mattered. That conversation is where all of this began."

That belief became the foundation for every dinner since. To Be Seenn hosts immersive dining experiences that treat guests as honored company rather than recipients of charity, built around a strict no-faces, no-names privacy standard at every gathering.

Since incorporating in November 2025, To Be Seenn has earned 501(c)(3) status and hosted events in Cape Town and Los Angeles, with New York and London experiences planned for 2026. The organization's goal is to expand and provide support in cities around the world, sparking lasting change one table at a time.
