About Me

Hi, I’m Stacie J. Whitaker-Harris—a published author, certified recovery and peer support specialist, mindfulness coach, and artist. My journey has been shaped by over 20 years of writing, storytelling, and community advocacy. From publishing essays and poems as a middle schooler to contributing to university newspapers and appearing in local news, writing has always been my passion.

As a woman of faith with a Master’s in Law (business focus) and a Bachelor’s in Nonprofit Management, I am committed to empowering others through my words, art, and coaching. In 2020, I discovered my love for painting, which began as a form of therapy and blossomed into a creative outlet, with many pieces sold and displayed in local contests. My work reflects a dedication to healing, growth, and honoring the God-given potential in all of us.

What Is *Embracing Me*?

Embracing Me is more than a blog—it's a journey of self-discovery, healing, and honoring the divine within. Here, I share my life experiences—good, bad, and transformative—to inspire and uplift. I spent years hiding my gifts and stories out of fear. But through faith, I’ve chosen to embrace who I am and share my God-given talents with the world.

From essays and poetry to coaching and peer support, my mission is to guide you toward wholeness and inspire you to live fully and freely in harmony with your mind, body, and spirit.

Join the Journey

Whether you’re looking for inspiration, seeking coaching, or simply curious about my books and art, I invite you to explore and connect. Let’s walk this path together toward healing, restoration, and empowerment.

I Don't Want Anything FAKE!!!

 “I Don’t Want Anything Fake”
Now and days it’s easy to get caught up in all the fluff and hype of the media.  They feed us what they want us to believe but ultimately it’s up to us to decipher the real from the fake. 
We have manipulators who scheme to acquire money from those whom they swindle.  The poor swindled work harder, striving to build riches and wealth but lack knowledge and thus continue the cycle of being deceived by the swindler. 
Teachers teach only what they’ve been taught and NOT what they know for sure.  Many share facts which are really opinions.
People are caught up in making themselves appear to be more than they are with fake hair, false teeth, fake eyelashes, people are even going as far as getting fake breast, calf and butt implants.  Some use skin lighteners while others use tanning beds.  Some add chemicals to straighten hair while others add chemicals to make hair curly. 
Are we that shallow, gullible, arrogant or just plain ignorant?
The truth is they have not been awakened to the natural beauty of who they are and how God created them uniquely as IS (wonderful and beautiful)...AS IS with access to all they need to live with the truest of realities. 
When I read Proverbs 1:2-7, I learn that to know wisdom and instruction is the beginning of knowledge.  So when I hear all these things in the world trying to dissuade me of who I am…aiming to persuade me to hate myself in essence I understand I am essentially being taught to hate God.
I don’t want anything fake to keep me from the knowledge and wisdom of God which is in me.  No embellished physical changes, false teachings, government, money, fear, tradition or bondage of any sort will keep me from THE REAL!!!
I DON’T WANT ANYTHING FAKE!!!
Study and KNOW THE TRUTH...Using every tool available to you
