Deja is the Summer 2016 Intern for Meredith, our Creative Director. Deja is based in Columbia, SC, and has been a huge asset to our team in the short months that she's been with us! 

Meet Deja!

Allow me to introduce myself, Ashley, along with my fellow intern, Corrine. I am excited and feel privileged to announce that Amy has brought us onto the CiH team in Raleigh, NC as interns for the summer.  Currently we are both students at North Carolina State University studying Fashion and Textile Management.  Corrine and I are excited about our summer internship with CiH to learn more about the organization and how CiH works to support the amazing women in Zambia. 

So we are not strangers, here is a little more about Corrine and myself...

On Good Friday, we packed out a Zambian mini bus with over a dozen Lusaka ladies, clean drinking water, vegetables, and even a dozen live chickens.

I received an email a few weeks back that granted me the opportunity to give back from all that’s been given to me. I was invited to speak at the College of Hospitality, Retail, and Sport Management Hooding and Cording Ceremony as the Guest Speaker. Such an honor- a humbling and exciting one. 

Today is International Women’s Day, “celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women,” as stated on the official website. 

And while it may be obvious, I’ll just go ahead and say it- we’re big fans of achievements made by women.
