Stacy Morataya-Pilkington is a catalytic leader and champion for the voiceless. Amidst and among the scorching heat, the faux sparkle and gaudy excess of Las Vegas, a true phoenix was born. A survivor of domestic violence, Stacy began her young adult life escaping abuse, with a two year old on one hip, a one year old on the other, and nine months pregnant. As their special needs emerged, her drive and rigor brought her to new opportunities and challenges in serving her young sons. She burst out of the closet at the age of twenty-two, with three young boys, and charted their journey toward safety and prosperity. Stacy’s tenacity and resolve were the impetus for a career in hospitality leadership, that has spanned both coasts and led her to Maui, as an executive leader at one of the world’s most prominent resorts. Through the years, the mental health concerns of two of her children became overwhelming. Stacy’s unwavering love and perseverance was tested in the broken systems of pediatric psychiatry and the underdeveloped special education system.
In 2018, after a grueling and horrific battle with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, her son Ryan passed away at the tender age of nineteen. Stacy’s mission is to uplift ad enlighten, illuminating the dark, shameful corners surrounding mental health, domestic violence, poverty, female leadership, and grief. Some families are made stronger through trials and tragedies, while others fall apart in cataclysmic ways. Stacy speaks truth to familial shame and the toxicity of enmeshment.
She lives with her wife Mirza, and their three giant dogs in beautiful Wailuku, Maui. Exploring peace, forgiveness, empowerment, and inspiration, join the phoenix on her journey.
