Hey Sis! Welcome to Stepping Into She! My name is Courtnie Thomas and I am the creator of this blog! Based in NJ/NYC this blog is a personal look into my life as I step into who I am. As I journey into who I am in my faith, career, self-love, and more, I am sharing these stories with you so you know you’re not alone!
Who am I?
A thirty year old, semi-city living girl who works in Juvenile Justice Reform & still navgiating it all! I moved to NJ by way of Washington, DC – but originated in Rhode Island (the state – not Long Island). Outspoken and always laughing, I have always been candid about many things – but my journey wasn’t always the topic. Growing up and into my 20’s, I didn’t always share what I was going through out of fear of judgement. What I realized is sharing my story is powerful and can help my sista standing next to me. So that’s what I’m doing!
Since a young age, I’ve always wanted to create a space where women can have candid converations, the one’s we have with our girls – and feel connected. You know the conversations that get real and you say “me too” or “I feel the same way”? This is that space! As I read Michelle Obama’s Book “Becoming” I loved how at every point in her journey she had to step into who she was or who she wanted to be. Sometimes we, particualry as women, slow-step or hesitate as we step into our career, our relationships, friendships, and other spaces for many reasons. My goal is to create a space to inspire women to share thier stories, embrace thier journey to self-love, empower women to stand up and become who they are meant to be and be confident in thier trasnformation to greatness.
Stepping into She means activating your God-given purpose, power and potential!

Stepping Into She
Sometimes we think our stories are the only stories out there, that no one else can understand or empathize with us. But our stories are the stories of women everyone, and when we share and let our spirit flow through our testimonies, we send love to others other there. These stories connect us, empower us and encourage us to grow, support and uplift each other. Most times just the smallest conversation, can impact someone so deep that it creates a lasting impact, a lasting change. It can be the one push for a women to share, open up and free herself from any pain she is holding on to. it can allow her to cope, trust and move on. So never question your story, question the impact it can have.
