L. Stephanie Ray

Stephanie was born and raised in Michigan. Community outreach has been embedded in her soul since she was a child. She was continuously involved in various community-oriented programs. Soon after graduating college, she relocated to Atlanta, Georgia. As an adult, she continued giving back to her community by volunteering in the Giver of Life Ministry at her church that was geared toward empowering youth educationally, emotionally, spiritually and mentally. She also worked with the "Feed The Hungry" outreach ministry. In 2003, she decided to take her outreach ministry to a higher level and became a foster parent. She describes it as one of the most fulfilling and rewarding experiences of her life. After experiencing a series of tragic life events, she began to counsel and mentor other women. Today, she strives to utilize her God-given creative and artistic talents to portray positive characters through acting and writing that will motivate and inspire others to become strong leaders and compassionate adults toward others. She dedicates her endeavors to the loving memory of her beloved sons and those who have paved the way before her.
