We had the good fortune of connecting with Sharonda Stewart and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sharonda, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
One of my favorite quotes is “Nothing beats a failure but a try”. My neighbor used to say it all of the time. I am not quite sure who said it first but it has stuck with me since I was in high school. Whenever I am thinking about taking a risk or starting something new, I find myself reciting that quote and taking the leap. It’s true we have to go for it. What’s the worst thing that could happen. If it doesn’t work out as planned, turn your no’s into next opportunities.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Sporty Mommas is a lifestyle brand for women. I love creating apparel, sharing my story and inspiring moms to do their thing. Through social media I am able to reach moms from all over and I think that is pretty cool. I am most proud that I am still here 10 years after designing my first t-shirt. It hasn’t been easy especially being a full time stay at home mom. But, I am learning to give myself grace. I am no where near where I want to be but I am getting closer each day.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
We would definitely stay at the Mandarin Oriental hotel. They have one of the best spas in Miami. Hit the shops at Bal Harbor the Miami Design District and a movie at Brickell City Center. My favorite restaurants are Prime 112, Komodo and Town. A Miami Heat game or two at the AAA is a must.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I dedicate this shoutout to my mom, Sharoyln Turner. As a single mom of two she always tried her best to provide a great life for us. She has been my biggest cheerleader and inspiration all of my life.
