We are excited to invite Ambee Stephens to the mic. Ambee is the Founder and CEO of EmpowHERment, a women's community center committed to helping women rise through support services, support groups, and empowerment workshops. 

Ambee is passionate about the mission of EmpowHERment, which is…"Wanting to be empowered and around like-minded women is reason enough". Through EmpowHERment, she hopes to build a relationship with women that will serve as raw, long-lasting relationships with transparency and resilience at the core. 

Ambee holds two bachelor's degrees in community leadership and paralegal studies, a Master of Nonprofit Management from the University of Central Florida (UCF), and has recently obtained her fundraising certificate from UCF. Currently, she is attending UCF in pursuit of obtaining her Ph.D. in Sociology, which she hopes to use to educate women on starting a nonprofit while maintaining a work/life balance. In 2020, during a worldwide pandemic, Stephens managed to open a community center committed to helping women in Tampa Bay.

If you don’t remember anything else, take this quote from Ambee when you need it…"In a world full of paper chasers, be a purpose chaser. If you chase your purpose, the paper will follow".

In this episode, we will discuss the misconceptions others have about individuals supporting women, a valuable lesson learned as a nonprofit leader managing staff members, and learning to be open to receiving help while navigating transitions in life.
