She was advised soon after to try in vitro fertilization to have the best chances to get pregnant. After visiting with her OBGYN, she found out that she had endometriosis and that a lot of damage had been done to her fallopian tube. They still yearned to have a family and decided to take the steps to make that happen. As the years passed and they achieved great things following Canvas Beauty’s launch in 2018, something was missing. In that time, she says they didn’t attempt to keep conception from happening, but it never occurred. Stormi and her husband Courtney, though married in 2015, have been together for 12 years. “I wanted the experience of just sitting there buying everything because I didn’t think I would be able to do it,” she says of getting pregnant. Her drive to give these gifts, forgoing items for herself, not only came from a desire to be of service, but also to be able to fully celebrate her miracle baby in a special way. She started a non-profit organization titled For Mamas, and her current goal is to provide more than $50,000 worth of gifts and supplies for other first-time mothers who need assistance. “People were writing to say, ‘Hey, you have a registry? I want to do this, I want to give you this.’ And I was like, ‘No, let’s not give it to me, let’s figure out a way to gift it to other women.'” “From the very beginning, I knew I didn’t want to accept gifts,” she tells ESSENCE. She and husband Courtney Beasley are asking that the generosity people have offered to show them, be shown to other expectant mothers, specifically those in need. The entrepreneur and hairstylist, CEO of the successful Canvas Beauty Brand, is expecting her first child soon, a baby boy. While she appreciates the thought, Stormi Steele isn’t accepting gifts for her baby on the way.
