Hi. I’m Steisha.

Pronounced like Stacia [ stay-shuh ].

I was born in the Bronx, New York, but I’ve spent most of my life growing up in rural North Carolina. I’m a Millennial, I’m Puerto Rican, and I was born and raised a Jehovah’s Witness. I left the Witnesses when I was 19 so I could go to college, something that was not allowed. I’ve been shunned by my family and childhood friends for nearly half of my life, but over the years I’ve built a new family of friends.

In 2007 I went to UNC Greensboro to study art, and 16 years later I left with two Fine Art degrees and a very solid IT career. I currently work for a major aerospace company, leading their ServiceNow Request Management process.

I live in Greensboro, NC with the love of my life and our two little dogs.
