As a child growing up in De Kalb, Mississippi, a small town 120 miles west of the state capital, Stormi Steele felt her aspirations were feared instead of encouraged.
"No one pushed you to be ambitious — if anything, they're more afraid of ambition," said Steele, 32, of her childhood. "But as a child, I was always a dreamer."
