No Filter

Stephenie Rodriguez was at a work conference in Nigeria in 2020 when she got bitten by a mosquito.

At the time, she didn’t think anything of it, but two weeks later she collapsed on the floor of an airport. And 24 hours after that, the single mother and digital entrepreneur was in a coma in a Boston hospital with a 2% chance of surviving.

Steph has been through more in the past two years than most of us. And what you’ve read so far is only the start of her story… where she’s at now, is a whole other level of remarkable.
