Dequarius T. Dunson  is a visionary entrepreneur and the founder of multiple successful ventures. His journey began with just $200, a God-given dream, and unwavering faith. Since taking that leap, he has built and scaled companies across the healthcare, logistics, and technology sectors. A seasoned entrepreneur with strategic insight, Dequarius has led businesses that have secured multi-million-dollar contracts and formed key partnerships with organizations such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, FedEx, USPS, Genworth, the Mississippi Department of Health, and numerous other local and national entities.

He is the founder of Harmony Care of Mississippi, which includes:

Clinician. Overcomer. Wife. Worshipper.

Dr. Stacia Dunson, DNP, FNP-C, is a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, Doctor of Nursing Practice, and co-owner of Harmony Medical Clinic, where she leads with compassion, clinical excellence, and a heart for service. Her path to medicine was marked by rejection and setbacks—denied multiple times from nursing programs, she pressed forward with faith and perseverance to eventually earn her doctorate and build a thriving career in healthcare.

Her journey is one of grit, grace, and God’s timing.

Stacia began her healthcare career in 2003 as a Medical Assistant under the mentorship of Dr. Rosie Walker-McNair. Since then, she’s worked across the full spectrum of care—clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, home health, hospice, and assisted living. She spent five years as a Family Nurse Practitioner at Jackson Hinds Comprehensive Health Center before launching her own practice.

Beyond medicine, Stacia is a gifted vocalist and member of the legendary Mississippi Mass Choir. She is a powerful speaker, worship leader, and trusted voice in both healthcare and faith spaces. Her life is a testament to how resistance can lead to revelation—and how obedience to God opens doors no man can shut.

Together with her husband, Dequarius, she mentors couples in business and ministry, helping them grow vertically in faith, family, and entrepreneurship. They are the proud parents of Kadence and Kamron, and continue to inspire others through their faith-filled journey.
