STENETTA ANTHONY shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Hi STENETTA, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What makes you lose track of time—and find yourself again?
One activity that often distracts me is watching Christmas movies. I can easily spend hours engrossed in them without taking a break. I see this form of entertainment as kryptonite. Acknowledging that it’s a weakness, I reserve these movie sessions for specific days and times, allowing myself to watch them without interruptions while enjoying some of my favorite snacks.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
The world often promotes the idea that it is necessary to correct someone when they mispronounce a name or make other mistakes. Having a unique name, such as Stenetta, has allowed me to view the world from a different perspective. My name is frequently misspelled or mispronounced. In these situations, I choose to respond with kindness. I understand that people often mispronounce my name without intending to be offensive, just as I may inadvertently mispronounce others’ names. I believe it’s important not to conform to what society expects of me.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
I would tell my younger self, “Be patient with yourself and trust your journey. You may make mistakes and face life’s challenges, but each experience is part of your growth process. These challenges make you stronger and help you realize that kindness, love, and patience nurture self-compassion, strength, and confidence that can last a lifetime.”
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What’s a cultural value you protect at all costs?
In a world filled with diverse values and beliefs, I cherish my faith in God the most valuable.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Volunteering has often provided me with a sense of integrity, self-respect, and joy. By committing my time to various organizations without seeking praise, money, or other rewards, I have been able to cultivate discipline, build character, and experience deep satisfaction from helping others. While recognition can be enjoyable, there is true value in selflessly giving your time and effort to support someone else.
