We had the good fortune of connecting with Stephanie Alston and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Stephanie, what do you want people to remember about you?
My number one dream is to ensure that I make everyone’s professional and personal dreams come true.

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.

Don’t follow your dreams chase them,” is a mantra that I have lived by since the day I heard a young Terrence J speak those words on the campus of North Carolina A&T State University. While many cheered him on, I took his words as a challenge to chase my dreams like never before. Over the course of the last several years I have faced many adversities that have taken me steps back on my journey but the number one way I have sought to overcome those challenges has been by vowing to get up every time I was knocked down. Each challenge has taught me that what does not kill you will always make you stronger and even if the entire world never knows my name it is my hope that one person’s life is impacted by my brand and the life I live.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would take them to Slice Atlanta and stay for hours. Nothing can beat good music, good food and laughs.

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?
I would like to dedicate my story to my father. Over the last 17 days I have watched him fight for his life on a ventilator. As a business owner he has always inspired me to make the dreams of others come true and as he continues to win the victories of life I dedicate my journey to his resilience and dedication to never give up.
