Famous Stephanie Lahart Quotes

“Unapologetic Black Female Leaders think differently. We’re the few, fearless, strong, resilient, and NOT easily intimated Queens. Integrity, perseverance, and confidence run through our veins! We don’t have to cheat, lie, or manipulate to win. We impact, empower, and inspire ALL people for the betterment of the world. Our authenticity is what makes us POWERFUL and EXQUISITE. We are Black Women… The REAL game-changers!”

“Sis, here’s a gentle reminder to take time out for yourself. As Black women, we’re always doing something, but I encourage you to give yourself permission to simply rest. Calm your thoughts, allow your soul to breathe, eat nourishing foods that fuel your body, and drink healthy smoothies, teas, and water to nourish your cells. Do the small things that bring you relaxation, peace, and joy.”

“As a Black woman, I don’t see Black women’s empowerment as just making us feel good. It’s about keeping it real and helping us grow, too. Empowerment means having honest conversations that challenge us to become the best versions of ourselves. We have to be willing to talk about the hard and uncomfortable things as well. True empowerment means being open to correction. Personal growth doesn’t always feel good, but it’s necessary. If you truly want to be a powerful Black woman of substance, you have to be honest with yourself, intentional about your growth, and willing to put in the work. It’s time for us to step our game up and embrace empowerment in every area of our lives! It’s time to step fully into the Phenomenal Black Women we were created to be! It’s OUR time, Queens.”

“Listen, it is no secret that there are some women who will take advantage of a good man. So, let me ask you a question… Are you raising your son to know HIS self-worth? Our boys are equally important as our girls! Men get used. Men get hurt. Men get mentally, physically, and verbally abused, too. And don’t be in denial… Men become victims to women that don’t mean them any good. Many women date, marry, and have babies with men simply because they’re successful, have lots of money, drive exquisite cars, live in exclusive neighborhoods, etc. They don’t love your son, they love what your son can offer them. Do your son a favor and instill self-love early on!”

“Living your best life does NOT consist of getting in debt trying to fill a void. Don’t complicate your life by making poor choices that you will most likely regret later on. I encourage you to sincerely evaluate your life and take the necessary steps to create a life that’s healthy, balanced, and authentic. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying life, but make sure that you’re being responsible, too. I challenge you to save, invest, and build wealth as well. Be intentional… Face your truth with courage! Your mental, emotional, and physical health deserve a chance to thrive in peace. Give yourself permission to properly heal… Acknowledge your trauma, do the work, and CONQUER it.”

“Black Girls… Until you get enough of what you’re going through, no matter what advice a person gives you, you’ll continue to go through the same thing. Constant arguing. Constant fighting. Constant lies. Constant disappointments. Constant emotional rollercoaster. Constant heartbreak. Constant headaches. Constant threats. Constantly fighting for his attention and love. Constantly looking through his phone. Constantly sneaking through his personal belongings. Constantly arguing and/or fighting with other women over who’s supposed to be YOUR mate. Secretly checking up on him due to a lack of trust. Listen, NOBODY is worth your inner peace! What I’ve listed above is NOT a relationship. It’s a toxic mess. So, what are you going to do?”

“Unfortunately, we live in a society where some people allow their degrees, careers, job titles, and connections to go to their head. I encourage you NOT to be one of those people. I firmly believe that how you treat others is a direct reflection of your true character. Being rude, cruel, and unpleasant is NOT a good look. You don’t have to be a NASTY person… Treat people with decency!”

“Give yourself a break. Embrace and accept yourself for who YOU are. Love yourself and be kind to yourself. See the best in yourself! Be brave and have courage to be comfortable in your own skin. Knowing your self-worth is everything.”

“A woman’s number one relationship goal should be with herself first. Liking, loving, and valuing who she is will set the standard for what kind of man she chooses to date and/or marry. She’s got to not only know her worth, but she’s got to protect it, too! Protect it from men that don’t mean her any good. Dead-end, unhealthy, and toxic relationships won’t be something that she cares to entertain. Her self-love won’t allow her to go down that road.”

“So what if you have stretch marks. So what if you have cellulite. So what if you don’t have a big butt. So what if you don’t have large breasts. So what if you don’t have flawless skin. So what if you don’t have a body that other people deem to be perfect. So what! Don’t allow people to define YOUR beauty. Hold your head up high and know who YOU are! DO NOT EVER allow anybody to make you feel as if you’re NOT enough. You ARE enough! BELIEVE that.”

“His tongue was one of his greatest qualities. He knew exactly how to use it with me. Encouraging, kind, and loving words flowed freely and frequently from his lips. Always inspiring me to upgrade my thinking. His tongue spoke life into me… Awakening gifts in me that I didn’t know existed. He used his tongue wisely. Truth be told, he’s part of the reason why I am me. Exquisite, Powerful, Fearless, and Unapologetic. I’ll be forever grateful for his genuine love.”

“You won’t accomplish or reach your greatest potential in life if your main focus is on what other people think of you. No matter how great you are, some people will form their own negative opinions of you. Don’t give your haters your time or energy! People that are negative, jealous, and envious of you aren’t worth your future. Go after your dreams with purpose and unwavering belief!”

“Makeup does NOT define my beauty. I am unapologetically me, and I love myself flaws and all! As a matter of fact, I feel most beautiful when I’m not wearing makeup. I prefer healthy, glowing skin from the inside out. I drink plenty of water, green tea, healthy smoothies with fresh fruits/vegetables, and I absolutely LOVE my daily Clinique skin care routine. I encourage girls and women all over the world to love the skin they’re in! Strive to have healthy looking skin, NOT perfect looking skin.”

“I’m an empowered Black woman! I will not be afraid to use my voice. My thoughts, opinions, and ideas are just as important as anybody else’s. When I speak, I’m going to speak with boldness and purpose. I will be confident, authentic, and fearless. My voice has GREAT power, and I won’t be afraid to utilize it when needed. I’m NOT an angry Black woman, I’m a woman who has something important to say. My voice matters! I won’t apologize for being an unapologetic Exquisite Black Queen.”

“I’m an unapologetic Exquisite Black Queen… I’m not intimidated by you, her, him, or them. I’m a POWERFUL Black woman with a STRONG sense of self. I’m not afraid to assert myself, because my voice matters, too. I won’t apologize for being phenomenal!”
