I became involved in Sisters Network Dallas, Inc. about 10 years ago. I did volunteering in various places of the organization. As a breast cancer survivor, I want to reach out to the community to share that this disease is not a death sentence. I’m a 23-year survivor who recently had a negative mammogram and made a decision to have a bilateral mastectomy. Which has given me a much deeper passion for educating others about the disease.

At that point, life was hectic with two little kids at home and managing a fine dining dinner restaurant did not work with the other priorities in my life. Over the next several years, I shifted to doing meaningful work that was more flexible, including opening a from scratch catering service for new moms and families with special needs and food insensitivities, working as an in-home chef for a billionaire family, contract conference planning at convention centers and hotels in major metropolitan areas across the U.S., and various restaurant management roles.

I come from a country in the heart of Africa called Equatorial Guinea where the culture is different and I learned to adapt after a few months the COVID pandemic begins and I am forced to change my way of life and thinking. Months later, a great pillar of my life, my father, dies and after three months my older sister, who were very influential people in my life, I cried and became traumatized for months and I realize that crying and depressed does not pay my expenses, so I use a plan B which is to learn the real estate market where, thank God, it was a great blessing for me.

After going to college and getting a degree in Bachelor’s in Psychology I realized the the possibility of being a support to others during their difficult time would likely be more realistic.

During those shows I’d have the opportunity to make connections with designers, and photographers which then opened the door for me to shoot commercially a lot more. One fashion show, I had just gotten off the runway, a designer who I’ve never met before needed an extra model to wear her swim suit. She grabbed me last minute, I tried it on and it fit like a glove. From then on me and her acquired a 9 year relationship and friendship modeling for one of Dallas’ most known swimwear brands, Asherah swimwear! I’ve gotten to travel out of the country several times on campaigns to shoot with her brand and shoot with other brands along the way. Read More>>
Cathy Krumholz
To surprise Cathy, Stacy made prints of some of her favorite pieces of her mom’s and worked with two Dallas businesses to carry the pieces. Cathy had no idea that a simple birthday shopping trip would result in seeing her very own works of art adorning Kettle Art Gallery in Deep Ellum and Talulah & Hess in Lakewood. This fun surprise launched the start of a fun adventure making art for bigger projects – commissions, residential installations, gallery showings, and charitable donations. Cathy has a whimsical abstract style and enjoys experimenting with new techniques. Cathy’s art ranges from large scale paintings to small, intricate collages. Read More>>

My husband and I, along with close friends, Tim & Jett, even started a weekly “Name That Tune” series, connecting with people across the U.S. and abroad. I also shared TikTok with my 82-year-old father at the time, and we created videos together before he passed. As my following grew, I brought my initially hesitant husband on board, and soon, brands began reaching out for collaborations. Now, I get approached by 10-30 brands a week, and I choose partnerships based on how the products can benefit me, my family, or my followers. It’s been a journey of doing what I love and just like the old adage “do what you love and the money will come”. Read More>>

I started first making deep conditioner. I wanted something that not only could moisture your hair but a conditioner that would promote healthy hair growth. After seeing how my deep conditioner grew out my son’s hair I started researching ingredients for a hair oil. 2022 is when I started making hair oil. At first I only used it on my son’s and my hair but then my clients wanted me to use it on them. Then I had clients that wanted to buy my oil. If God would have told me that my life would be like this, I wouldn’t believe him. I would never imagine making and selling my own products and doing what I love to do and that’s doing hair.
