Stephanie fought to recover from three nearly fatal gunshot wounds, only to discover that she had been left with $25MM in debt, a bankrupt estate, and virtually no financial resources with which to raise her four children. In 2012, she moved her family to Dallas, Texas. Through sheer hard work, fierce determination, and relentless perseverance, Stephanie created a new life for her family and rebuilt her career as an accounting and finance executive in corporate America.

Always passionate about personal development, she is a CPA who completed her Master’s degree at the age of 50. Today she is financially independent and dedicated to helping others achieve their personal, professional, and financial goals.

Because of her experience, Stephanie has deep insight into the challenges our society faces related to gun violence. She was directly impacted by gaps and failures within the legal system and is deeply concerned by the lack of enforcement of existing laws. Her perspective offers a thoughtful and powerful voice in conversations about addressing gun violence in our communities.

As the mother of four biracial children, she understands the complexities of raising a family with multicultural values. She believes in the power of honest kitchen table conversations when it comes to discussing diversity and inclusion. She understands what it feels like to be marginalized and advocates for those who are undervalued and underappreciated.

Stephanie refuses to be defined as a victim. She rejects empty political correctness and speaks with raw transparency and authenticity. By sharing her story of survival, she encourages others who are working to navigate the hardships that life can bring.

She exemplifies resilience, believes deeply in the power of faith, and understands the importance of community, especially during times of profound challenge.

Through it all, Stephanie is thriving and remains passionate about helping others

LIVE THEIR BEST LIFE.
