“Be Your Own Vogue means to do whatever you are called to do without second guessing it. It means to be a who you are called to be, even if that means creating your own lane! For me it means being my own inspiration. I look up to a lot of amazing women, but I want to be the first Bri’Ann Stephens, not the next “(insert a powerful woman’s name).” It means writing business plans by day and painting at night. It means doing the things that doesn’t always make sense to others, because it’s what you are called to do. Be Your Own Vogue— Be You.”
Today, I have my own company, I paint, I write and perform poetry, and I am the business advisor for startup companies. Prior to all of this I was broken down and trying to figure out life. Many of my family and friends counted me out. Regardless I trusted who God said I was and I walked by faith. I started doing things I had ever done. I am doing things today I never thought I was. My path isn't one dimensional, I paint and I write business plans.
