I’m Stephanie Green—born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina, in meager conditions that taught me humility, resilience, and the importance of community. I come from humble beginnings, shaped by a “village” of people who showed me what it looks like to come together and support one another—from food banks, to my mother lovingly making clothes for us by hand, to the positive influences she welcomed into my life. Those early experiences built the foundation for the woman I am today.

Over the years, I became a passionate leader in management, working with multiple companies and learning how to build genuine rapport with staff, customers, and community partners. While helping run other people’s businesses, I began to see more than operations and performance—I saw people’s hurt. I’ve always felt it was my responsibility to be the spark of change someone might need, especially in moments when life feels overwhelming, and they don’t have the clarity or support to move forward.

As a manager, I didn’t just lead teams—I looked out for people. If someone was hungry, I helped. If someone was struggling, I listened. I’ve witnessed firsthand how one decision made in crisis can change everything, and how often those moments come from a lack of structure, mentorship, and a real support system. That’s when I realized my calling went deeper than simply offering a quick solution. I wanted to help people build a foundation—like helping someone move from surviving day-to-day to having the tools, stability, and confidence to stand strong on their own. I believe in uplifting others through encouragement, practical guidance, and prayer, because mindset matters—and so does love.

My support for others has no limits. I believe people of all ages deserve help, hope, and a chance to grow—regardless of age, race, gender, or sexual identity. I’m grateful for every person I’ve met along my journey, because each experience helped sharpen my skills, deepen my compassion, and prepare me for the work I do now.

The inspiration for my 120 Program came from watching friends and family return home from incarceration feeling unstructured, afraid, and unsure of where to begin. It also comes from seeing how trauma and displacement can leave people feeling disconnected, unsupported, and stuck in survival mode. Those experiences fueled my commitment to helping people rebuild their lives with structure, guidance, and the belief that their future can be greater than their past.
