Meet Deja!

1.   How did you learn about CiH?
I learned about CiH from my Principles of Fashion Merchandising class. My teacher Dr. Boggs, informed us of CiH’s Spring 2016 launch party and how Amy, the founder went to USC. I was instantly inspired and wanted to get involved!

2.   If you could eat one meal for the rest of your life what would it be?
I would definitely say pizza! I’ve experimented with so many different toppings and sauces that the options are endless and I never get bored!

3.   What is your favorite CiH product?
The Village Twist Bracelets, there’s so many options for more than one and they add a simple chic vibe!

4.   What is the last book you read?
“Purpose Awakening” - Toure Roberts, this book is religion based on how God has an epic purpose for everyone. It’s very encouraging and uplifting!

5.   What drew you to join the CiH team?
CiH’s purpose is beautiful and inspiring. I love empowering women instead of breaking them down because our world can be cruel. Amy and her company falls right under breaking this cycle. I also wanted to be apart of something bigger than I am!

6.   If you had to describe yourself as an animal what would it be?
I would say a cat. At times I can be aloof and want to be left alone but at the end of the day I just want your love. Haha

7.   Name one fun fact about yourself.
I am a plant-based vegan! I’ve been vegan for 6 months and it has been the best decision I’ve made for my health!

CiH isn't just about what women in Zambia are doing. It's about connecting cultures and working together to empower women of the world through HOPE. If you're interested in being a part of this goodness, Contact Us.
