She's been called an icon and a legend in the Dallas mahjong world — and after spending an hour with her, you'll see why. Meet Stephanie, aka The Marvelous Mrs. Mahjong: mahjong teacher, needlepointer, mother of four, and one of the most hilarious and wise women I've ever met. I left our first meeting and immediately texted 15 people. Now you get to meet her, too.

We talk all things mahjong — from its origins in 1800s China to how it swept across America post-COVID, why it's genuinely good for your brain, and why Stephanie still pulls out a fake cigarette when her students take too long on the Charleston. We also get into needlepoint, marriage, raising daughters, hobbies as identity, and what a 103-year-old named Shirley can teach you about living fully.

This one is for every woman who loves a grandma hobby, needs a new social outlet, wants to feel smarter, or just needs a great older sister to dish advice over a glass of prosecco.
