    Between finance and drug issues, Steve’s family dynamic was less than stable until his teenage years, which is also when he met the love of his life, Kimberly. Although the couple bonded early on, his going away to college put a strain on the relationship, as did an unplanned pregnancy.


    Steve faced trials and tribulations with the loss of his younger brother, on top of the stress of having a new family. With everything going on, failure was not an option. As life got more complicated, the couple drifted. Eventually, a deep heart-to-heart turned their interpersonal and economic life around, and @millennialmarried was born.


    Through the good, the bad, and the heartbreaking, the couple grew separately and together, sharing their lessons to an audience of over 400K.


    This is Steve’s story.

    From an early age, Kimberly knew that she did not want to copy her parents’ relationship—between economic hardships, gambling issues, and plenty of chaos, she wanted something different: an equal partnership.


    In spite of her best efforts to focus on school and create the future she wanted, she met someone, fell in love, and got pregnant just before graduation. However, this did not stop her ambition. With a growing family, plenty of ups and downs, and major relationship setbacks, Kimberly and her now-husband Steve, turned their experience into @millennialmarried—an account that’s all about relationship lessons, community, and marriage.


    The couple struggled separately and together, but through it all, they found a love that worked for them, and that inspires so many others.


    This is Kim’s story.

    Tracey never imagined that life would take her from her home country of South Africa to the United States, and that she would leave the world of business to run an Instagram account about the world’s most exclusive jewelry, but that’s just what happened.


    From seemingly having it all in her early 20s and still shaking up her life, to once again getting a reality check about what really matters in her 50s, Tracey shares the unique trajectory that brought her to create @thediamondsgirl, and the lessons she learned along the way.


    This is her story.
