Hi, I’m Steph Smith

Yes, I'm a Queenpin

*but not that kind of queenpin

A queenpin is a woman essential to an organization's success. So yeah, that label fits me at home and in the office. I run a successful medium size real estate firm and I've fought for cannabis legalization and other personal rights for over a decade. Although I'd be proud to wear the crown, I'm not the queen of cannabis. The truth is I am a real estate developer with a side hustle fighting corruption of all types. I've sued cities multiple times (and won!). I'm tenacious as a mother. I grew up poor and the only thing I inherited was a love of work and a willingness to fight for what's right. I believe it's my responsibility as a woman to fight corruption so future underdogs have a chance. 

​

I'm no fan of The Man. I've stood up to authority - and authority doesn't fight fair. The Man fights dirty. I got smeared with some crazy press releases, but I survived. 

So yes, I am a queenpin of sorts. I run my own firm, mentor young professionals, volunteer, support early childhood and environmental causes, and at the end of the day, I'm a mom of 5 who packs helluva lunch.
