“There is little that is more beautiful than a happy child.”
From a young age my parents told me that I could do anything I want to do and be anything that I wanted to be. They encouraged me. In fact, they insisted that I pursue my dreams. I never had a doubt that I could achieve what I wanted to achieve, as long as I worked hard. Now, as a mom to an amazing son, my goal is to empower him in the same way.
Through my company, Stacey M Design, for years it has been my mission to put smiles on the faces of kids by helping them understand that they are amazing just as they are. When I came up with the idea of the My Super Powers! Foundation, my goal was to help even more kids by giving them opportunities to contribute to the community and helping them own their power. I am thrilled about this journey.

“I am thrilled to help empower the youth in our communities to grow up and learn how to serve others.”
I am a certified aromatherapist and independent distributor for Young Living Essential Oils. I am a mom of 3 teenagers, an Air Force veteran, and married to my Bootcamp sweetheart, James. I am an animal lover with 3 dogs and 2 birds.
I am a mom of a special needs child who was bullied in school for being different than the other kids. When I met Stacey, I resonated with her passion for empowering children to recognize the super power in themselves and in each other. I just knew this was a mission I wanted to be a part of!

“We all have unique superpowers that we need to share to make this world a better place.”
I built my family through adoption and my kids are awesome!. But they will face challenges, no doubt. My daughter is African-American and my son has special needs. I’m a single mom who is doing her best every day, but I need help from my community to get it right.
I bleed purple – Go ‘Cats! And I’ve spent most of my career in public service and education. I’ve led multiple volunteer projects, including a 9-month volunteer project for an agency that specializes in helping children and adults with developmental disabilities.
I was drawn to My Super Powers Foundation because the one thing I am sure I need to do as a parent is to teach them to embrace their own uniqueness in this world. Owning the wonder of their individuality. That’s where my kids’ superpowers will come from. I want all kids to live, breathe, and feel their own superpowers every day of their lives. We are better as individuals and as a society when we can see the superpowers in all of us.

“MSPF is important because it provides opportunities for the community to come together through social and emotional learning activities and events that encourage diversity, inclusivity, togetherness, and support, while promoting the value of serving others.”
I am an attorney with a focus on estate planning. My goal is to build relationships and support families through the creation of unique plans for life transitions of mental or physical incapacity and death. I am a graduate of Winthrop University and the John Marshall Law School, a contributing writer for Sistah’s Place magazine, and a co-host of the Estate and Wealth segment of the Sistah’s Conversations podcast. I am also a wife and mother of three wonderful children.
As someone who is often overlooked by society’s lack of diversity and inclusion, I am excited to help the My Super Powers Foundation provide opportunities for the community to come together through social and emotional learning activities and events that encourage diversity, inclusivity, togetherness, and support, while promoting the value of serving others.
