Stephanie Steffens says she has always had a passion Stephanie has always had a passion for reading and writing, and it was with that passion that she pursued a career in education. Fast-forward to 2022, Stephanie brought her long-time dream of owning a bookstore to life and opened YOUR FORTE in December 2022.
She says the definition of forte means “a strength, strong point, or something at which one excels,” and Stephanie hopes to help those walking through her doors find their passion.
