Who’s That Girl? Deej is That Girl.
Who is Deej?
As a self proclaimed Introspective Extrovert, I often hear that people have two perspectives of me. I’m either super bubbly, goofy, and outgoing...or I’m quiet, standoffish, and stuck up. Lol blame it on the Taurus! In all actuality, I’m both of those things. The way I interact with others very much depends on the vibes I’m picking up from them as well as the determined comfort level of the environment. I usually am always quiet whenever I enter a new space. I gotta read the room, you know? Am I safe enough here to be my true, authentic self? Is this a genuine space or does it appear everyone is putting on a facade?
It usually takes a while for people to warm up to me and I’m usually only open and transparent with my closest friends. But….2020 is the year of clarity and change. So, In honor of that, I figured I’d open up to you and give you a couple quick facts about me.

I Am Obsessed With And Extremely Passionate About Music And Traveling. If I Could Travel For The Rest Of My Life, I’d Be Happy. I Have To Have Music In My Life In Some Fashion. Whether It’s Just Listening To Music, Reviewing It, Discovering It, Song Writing, Whatever. One Of My Dream Careers Would Include Traveling To Different Countries To Study Foreign Cultures/Travelogue. Another Dream Career Would Be To Be A Music Journalist/Blogger Or An A&R For A Dope Record Company/Label Or An Event Coordinator.

I’m My Best Self Anytime I’m Near Or Surrounded By A Body Of Water. Probably Why My Favorite Place In The World Is Near A Beach Or On An Island. Pretty Sure That’s Also Due To My Rising Sign Being Pisces Lol
I’m A Daydreamer (According To My Best Friend, Its Heavily Due To My Pisces Rising). I’ve Been Daydreaming Since I Was A Kid. I Didn’t Have A Terrible Childhood By Any Stretch Of The Imagination. But, I Was Raised In A Single Parent Household. My Mom Put Her All Into Raising Me…but Emotional And Verbal Trauma, Gaslighting, Passive Aggressive Behavior, And Writing Off Mental Health Issues As “Crazy” Were Ever Present. Typical Black Household Ish. Daydreaming Was An Escape. I Had All The Confidence In The World When I Daydreamed. Whatever Present/Future Situations I Could Come Up With Were Better Than The Reality I Was Living In.

I Love Watching Choreography Videos On YouTube. I Love Dance…I’m Actually A Very Good Dancer…but That’s Another Post Lol

I Just Turned 28 During Covid….And This Is The Most Comfortable I’ve Ever Been In My Own Skin. I Love My Skin, I Love My Weight, I Love My Smile, I Love My FUPA, I Love My Tummy, I Love My $.50 Lil Debbie Cupcake Ass, I Love My Eyes, I Love My Hair, I Love My Spirit, I I Love My Heart, I Love My Soul. I’m A Good, Loving, Loyal, Intelligent, And Beautiful Human Being. After Having Someone Else's Voice In Your Head For 17 Years Completely Breaking Down Everything You Thought About Yourself, It Feels Damn Good. I Know Someone’s Going To Look At This And Say “Well Duh Sis, You Supposed To Have Been Loved All That Shit.” Well Sorry Sis, From 9 Until 26 I Never Really Loved Or Saw Any Value In Anything About Me. I Had Low Self Esteem For 17 Years, Sis. Self Esteem That No Hairstyle, Designer Labels, Attention From Boys, Or Any Amount Of Weight Loss Could Fix.

I Love Playing Video Games And Watching Anime. This All Began With A Kingdom Hearts Obsession.
