Cornell & Stephanie

- Tennessee -

Introduction

Hello! It is so nice to meet you and thank you for allowing us to introduce ourselves! Our names are Cornell and Stephanie but most just know us a Nell & Steph. We are both native Memphians and met on Twitter. We always keep the kindness, curiosity and zeal we had as children and hope to share that with our newest addition. What keeps us centered is expressed in Phil. 4:12. We have "learned the secret of being content in any and every situation".

Stephanie was also born and raised in Memphis. She is the daughter of two musicians who met at a gig in Tunica, Mississippi in the late 70's. Stephanie was nurtured in a creative space with instruments serving as furniture and it was not odd for her to finish homework in a recording studio. While maintaining a peerless honor roll streak, Stephanie excelled at the performing arts. She played the violin for five years then majored in vocal performance in high school. Ultimately, performance became more of a hobby and she focused on academics. She has a bachelors in public relations and a masters in health administration. She's currently an MBA candidate. By day, she's a project management executive at a bank. She's also an avid mental health advocate and founded a non-profit in 2020.
