caught the public’s attention by appearing on an episode of BET’s 106 &
Park. She was there for a segment which highlighted the success of her
organic cookie business. Also worthy of a mention is the fact that as a
young teen of only thirteen at the time DeAnna launched the company
by herself !
In March 2013, she again appeared on BET’s 106 & Park. This time on
their “Wild Out Wednesday” episode. At no surprise
to us, she won that competition hands down. She
later advanced to the final rounds to compete during
the Coca-Cola Championship which made it her 3rd
appearance on BET in one year.
In April of 2014 DeAnna traveled to Atlanta,
Georgia to perform during the 2014 Epic
Women’s Conference as opening act for legendary vocalist, Angie Stone.
Throughout all of many endeavors as an artist
DeAnna still remains very active in her community and conscious of her goal that she be sure to
allow sufficient time to be able to continue on with
her numerous volunteer commitments. Equally as
impressive as her drive and determination are the countless
awards and honors that she has received. As a philanthropist
and volunteer for important causes such as; Rev. Jesse Jackson
Sr.’s Rainbow Push Coalition, DeAnna remains humble and
grounded. As keynote speaker and performer at events for
several non-profit organizations and church groups she has
effortlessly clocked well over 2800 hours of community service
putting in the hard work which fulfills her ongoing desire and
dedication to giving back.
One glance at DeAnna’s track record is certain proof that
being a great citizen is just as important to her as giving her
phenomenal gift of music and song to the world.
Her team tells us that she’s currently in the studio working
on her latest project with her producer, Treasure aka ‘Big
Trez’. We’re anxious to hear the rest of the magic that those
two will create, that’s for sure. Her already blazing hot new
singles; ‘Miss Cookie’ and ‘Stealth Mode’ put us all notice
that Ms. Stealth didn’t come to play. Her addicting anthem
“Miss Cookie” proudly boasts that she’s; “the calm before the
storm”, “look at you then look at me- with no make-up talk
about real”. From where we sit “REAL” is only the beginning
of the many adjectives that describe her!
