INNOVATION – Dr. Beverly Stubblefield
"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" must be Dr. Beverly Stubblefield‘s motto. She endured violations of her Constitutional rights, culminating in a crashed career path. She picked herself up, dusted herself off, and, fueled by her creativity, faith, and passionate love of everything equestrian, morphed into a successful children's book author. In 2022 Beverly produced another delightful book based on her experiences in animal-assisted psychotherapy and her years of running The Equestrian Therapy Center in Slidell, an innovation that won her the New Orleans City Business Innovator award in 2007. After 30 years of clinical practice, Dr. Stubblefield is now retired and living with her husband Burt Kemp in rural North Mississippi, where she continues to enjoy writing (Bedtime Stories from the Barn), riding horses, and playing the organ for church.
