Candace Owens would barely be old enough and lacks experience. Two people of color would be novel but not really workable when the sense you to have something for everyone. Owens also has an English husband. If you insist on a woman...Nikki Haley, Condi Rice, Governor Jenner of California, Tulsi Gabbard (after she switches parties), or Kristie Noem.

1. No experience. Being a pundit (one who seem to change parties when it will garner her fame/views) is not political experience. Yes.. people change, but hers was conveniently tied to a few other things....
2. No real formal education to speak of. She never finished a degree. Now-- the flip side of that is that she did manage to achieve a great deal in marketing without that degree, which tells me she's a smart woman... but when you combine no experience with no education..... its a non-starter for me.
3. She's essentially made a career out of being antagonistic. She's going to have to tone it down and find a voice that doesn't involve constantly stirring the shit pot before I'll take her seriously.
If Owens is gunning for a career in office.. she needs to stick to her original plan and run for a lower office first.
She would literally turn 35 during the campaign if she were on the ticket... she's awfully young and so far has a history of making snap decisions without much thought (speaking of her British husband-- they knew each other for 3 weeks when they got engaged-- and her husbands father is in the House of Lords)
I think the only workable option if you wanted that woman of color would be Condi. I also wouldn't necessarily mind Haley-- though I don't think she'd help the ticket. Jenner is a non-starter... Republicans will never back her enough (hell, many refuse to refer to Jenner as a her). I could see Noem on the ticket, but I wouldn't vote for her. I don't see Tulsi jumping on the ticket... it'll be too soon after any potential party switch for many in the party to support it.
