Beauty from Darkness: The Black Daisy Boutique Story in Waco

This week’s guest is someone who is going to absolutely light up your heart. Sthefanie Welch, the owner of The Black Daisy.If you know Sthefanie, you know she is the real deal. She lives life out loud and unapologetically herself. What makes her boutique so special is not just the racks of stylish clothes or the perfect pair of earrings you will probably walk out with. It is the feeling you get when you step inside, the sense that you have been seen, welcomed, and encouraged.But Sthefanie’s story goes much deeper than fashion. Her teenage years were marked by trauma, drug use, and surviving sex trafficking. In 2005 she had a radical heart shift when she heard the Holy Spirit and began choosing a new life for herself, one filled with purpose, freedom, and faith. From there she built a new foundation that not only transformed her own life but created space for other women to thrive too.In 2016 The Black Daisy was born, first out of her living room and now a vibrant boutique in Waco that doubles as a platform for other women owned businesses. Sthefanie has become a fierce advocate for women, for Latina entrepreneurs, and for those who need a reminder that they are enough, they matter, and they belong.In this episode we talk about: The pivotal moment when her life turned around Why she started The Black Daisy and what makes it so much more than a boutique How she is using her business to give other women a chance to shine The power of representation and creating spaces where everyone feels seen Why you will leave The Black Daisy with more than a cute top, probably with a full heart, maybe even a prayer, and definitely a new friend This conversation is raw, honest, and full of hope. Sthefanie is living proof that beauty can rise from the ashes and that community can change everything. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
