ABOUT ME

Welcome to my corner of the world wide web! A Southern girl, I have a passion for #TheCulture and offering innovative solutions to help emerging brands gain exposure and craft their stories.

With over a decade of experience in the marketing and advertising space, I’ve had the pleasure of crafting and executing for global brands including Verizon, Nestlé, Denny’s and Choice Hotels. My greatest honor has been curating events and creating digital solutions to help small, Black-owned businesses cultivate their brands and increase exposure in the community.

FUN FACTS & FAQs

You’ve asked, and I have answers to [my] life’s most important questions. Click the toggle (+) below to learn more about me. Seriously, these are questions I’ve been asked fairly often. 

Q: What is your Zodiac sign? 

Taurus. Everything you’ve heard is true. 

Q: What is your personality type? 

According to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, I am an ESFJ personality type. I am outwardly focused… barely though, because I tested 52%. Please manage your expectations accordingly. Additionally, I receive information and make decisions through Sensing and Feeling, respectively. I am probably Judging you right now. Just kidding! 🙂 To be fair, all of this matches with my Zodiac sign and name. Which brings me to…

Q: What does your name mean? Is it even a real name?

YES! My mother found “DeVona” in the baby book and it means “Defender”. The “V” is capitalized, because she’s the fanciest person I know. If you would like the story or to talk about work, CONTACT ME!

Q: What is your favorite quote?

I have three:

“When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.” ― Audre Lorde (Soundtrack for my life: “UMI Says”, Mos Def)

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” — Albert Einstein (Soundtrack for my life: “Biking”, Frank Ocean ft. Jay-Z & Tyler the Creator)

Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.” — Benjamin Spock (Soundtrack for my life: “Shine Bright”, MAJOR.)

Q: Who inspires you?

Personally: My parents and younger brother are AH-MAZING and I can only hope to be as awesome and loving as those three. Professionally: I love how Issa Rae has been able to create her own “table” and provide a platform for aspiring Black artists, businesses and creatives.

Q: Anything else we should know?

My favorite color is yellow, although teal is my “Power” color. Sugar does not belong in grits, and I am judging you if this is your choice. I am an avid reader and bibliophile and enjoy dissecting films in my spare time. I fancy myself a connoisseur of only the finest candy and have an extensive collection of wine.
