Check Out Stephanie Bloop’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Stephanie Bloop.

Hi Stephanie, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My name is Stephanie Bloop, the creative alias I go by online and in my work. Off the mic, many know me as Stephanie Burke, but at the core I’m one woman living out a Full Circle story.

I was born and raised in Bainbridge, Georgia—straight out of Decatur County. For 21 years, I poured into young people as a high school educator, teaching Audio/Video Technology and Film. I launched programs, built opportunities, and became a trailblazer in spaces that didn’t exist before I stepped in. But even with all of that, there was a fire in me that hadn’t been fully unleashed.

My roots in media go back almost two decades—radio, TV, film, and storytelling. I got my start at HOT 97.5, where I was known as “Lil Bit,” and from there I carried my voice across multiple stations, shows, and communities. Radio gave me the mic, but God gave me the message. Over the years, I hosted gospel shows, morning shows, entertainment news, and even created original segments like Kingdom Explosion and God’s Princess Kingdom Play of the Day. I learned how to connect with people in real time, inspire them, and hold space for both laughter and healing.

After teaching for two decades, I made the leap of faith to bet on myself full-time as a creative, empowerment speaker, and entrepreneur. My brand, Anointed Creative Designs, was born out of that leap. It’s more than merch—it’s what I call anointed urban armor. Every piece, whether it’s a FORGIVEN tee or a Grace Got Me hat, carries a message of faith, resilience, and identity.

Music has always been another heartbeat of mine. As “God’s Princess,” I released my first EP, Full Circle. The title is prophetic because that’s exactly what’s happening in my life—I survived chemotherapy, I survived doubt, and now I’m standing in the very places God showed me years ago. Everything has come full circle.

Today, I’m living in South Fulton, representing South ATL, and building forward in this season of transformation. I’m blending all the layers of my journey—teacher, radio personality, artist, entrepreneur, speaker, survivor—into one mission: to inspire people to become everything God created them to be. My story isn’t just about where I’ve been, but about the faith and fire it takes to keep showing up, even when the odds are against you.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Has it been a smooth road?

Nothing in life is smooth—there are always going to be bumps in the road. For me, those bumps have been my greatest teachers. They’ve forced me to walk by faith and not by sight, to trust God on a deeper level than I ever would have if everything had been easy.

I’ve battled through health challenges, including surviving chemotherapy, and I’ve faced the fear of leaving a 21-year teaching career to start over as a full-time creative. I’ve dealt with doors closing, resources running thin, and moments where people couldn’t see the vision God gave me. Those struggles could’ve made me quit—but instead, they transformed me.

That’s why today I call myself a transformation specialist. I’ve done the inner work. I’ve allowed God to search me, shape me, and stretch me. Introspection has been the key—learning how to be more self-aware so I don’t repeat the same cycles, and when adversity does show up, I have the discernment and wisdom to carry me through.

The Bible says in Proverbs 24:10, “If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.” That doesn’t say adversity won’t come—it promises that it will. The question is, will you stand ten toes down and trust God, or will you fold? I’ve learned to stand, to endure, and to come out stronger on the other side.

So no, my road hasn’t been smooth—but it’s been necessary. And every valley has prepared me for the mountaintop moments I’m walking in now.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
At the heart of my work, I’m a Transformation Specialist. Even after teaching for 21 years, I continue to serve students as a substitute teacher. I like to call myself a mobile mentor—because no matter what classroom I walk into, I’m there to plant seeds of encouragement, self-awareness, and vision. I want young people to know that transformation starts from within, and that they already carry the potential to be great.

Beyond the classroom, my creativity is expressed through storytelling, music, and design. With my brand, Anointed Creative Designs, I create what I call anointed urban armor—pieces like my FORGIVEN tees and Grace Got Me hats that go beyond fashion and become wearable testimonies. As an artist, my EP Full Circle captures my journey of survival, faith, and becoming.

What sets me apart is that everything I do—whether in a classroom, behind a mic, or through my brand—is rooted in transformation. Like a butterfly emerging from the chrysalis, my work is about guiding others through their process so they can come out stronger, freer, and more radiant. And like a rainbow after a storm, I want people to see my work as a reminder that no matter what they’ve endured, beauty and promise always follow.

How do you think about luck?
As a believer, I don’t believe in luck—good or bad. What the world calls “luck,” I know as favor. Proverbs 3:4 says, “Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.” That’s been the story of my life and business. Years ago, God even had me design a shirt with the word Favored on it—not just as a fashion statement, but as an establishment of who I am in the earth.

Now, if you ask some people, they might say I had “bad luck” at 23 years old—being diagnosed with stage 3B cancer and having to walk away from my dream job at the original Hot 97.5 to go through chemotherapy. But when you look through the eyes of faith, you realize it wasn’t bad luck at all. Romans 8:28 reminds us, “All things work together for the good of them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.” What the world may call a setback was really a setup for purpose, because that season led me into education, where I spent 21 years mentoring and transforming the lives of young people.

So whether people label something as good luck or bad luck, I know it all falls under God’s divine favor. Faith over fear ignites favor in what the world calls “good luck,” and faith conquers what the world calls “bad luck.” In the Kingdom of God, there are no losses—only lessons and only wins. I like to say it like this: it’s always dubs in the Kingdom, because the word “win” begins with a W.

And so even when some say “bad luck” or things not being favorable, it’s always favorable when you’re in the Kingdom of God.
