We had the good fortune of connecting with Steph & M.d. and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Steph & M.D., where are your from? We’d love to hear about how your background has played a role in who you are today?
Both of us hail from Dallas, Texas, a region renowned for its vibrant culture and strong sense of identity. It is widely acknowledged that Texas holds a special place in the hearts of its residents, and we are no exception. Our pride in our home state is palpable, and we believe that this pride has significantly influenced our personal and professional journeys.

Dallas, in particular, has played a pivotal role in shaping our values and aspirations. The city is not only a melting pot of diverse backgrounds and ideas but also a community that encourages active participation and engagement in societal issues. ​We are deeply committed to fostering positive change, both locally and globally, and believe that our actions can make a meaningful impact in the lives of others.​

As we release new episodes, we do so with a strong sense of responsibility and pride. We understand the importance of creating content that resonates with our audience while intentionally working to benefit our communities, whether they are close to home or around the world. Through our platform, we strive to inspire others to take action and join us in our mission to cultivate a more positive and impactful environment for all.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Steph is actively involved in post-secondary education, where she provides support to aspiring nursing and physician assistant students.​ In addition to her role in education, she is also a skilled braider serving the North Dallas community.

M.D. works as a lawyer in the corporate sector, where she has built a successful and thriving career. Both individuals are dedicated to their professional paths, contributing to their respective fields with passion and expertise.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We both have a deep appreciation for music. Dallas boasts a diverse range of options that cater to various musical tastes. As passionate foodies, we would take you to Hutchins Barbecue, renowned for arguably serving the best barbecue in Texas. Afterward, we can enjoy a few drinks at Sidecar and indulge in karaoke in a private room, ensuring a lively and entertaining experience.

​To conclude our evening, we would visit Reunion Tower in downtown Dallas, a must-see landmark that offers breathtaking views of the city.​ This iconic location perfectly encapsulates the essence of Dallas and provides a memorable way to finish our night.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Steph the braider
