Peerless Etiquette had the distinct pleasure of an interview with actor/model De'Anne, who we believe is a positive role model to young ladies. De'Anne is a wife, mother, and model who is kind, humble, and supportive. The complete antithesis of what the media portrays models to be. She thinks before she speaks, speaks with an intention to connect, and has an overall warmth to her personality. She supports other models in the industry and creates thought provoking conversation in her Forum Empowered Minds to help women live their best life. We are glad to share her interview in hopes that it will inspire you.
