Stephanie Stovall, CEO and FOunder of Women Aspire

She was born in Stockton, California, and raised in Wichita, Kansas. She has been married for thirty years. Stephanie Stovall is the mother of two handsome sons and two grandchildren.

Stephanie Stovall is a first-generation graduate. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in education, a Bachelor’s degree in theology, and a Master’s degree in administration. She is a dedicated professional with thirty years of experience in the Wichita Public Schools in various positions such as teaching, administration, leadership, and behavior specialist.

During her tenure as an educator, she has encountered many young mothers who have found themselves in precarious and undesirable situations. Some are aging out of foster care, and others are moving themselves and their children from one house to another, unable to secure a stable environment. With a sense of understanding and empathy, she felt the call to do more to help women and children.

Having experienced being a single mom herself, she understood the struggle. It was time to give back and help other women. In 2014, she formed a non-profit agency entitled Women Aspire. Its mission is to provide mentorship, education, and housing resources for woman and their children. The objective of this agency is to assist women and children in poverty and abusive situations, to claim or reclaim a healthy lifestyle.
