Today we’d like to introduce you to Dejia Turner.
Dejia, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I am Dejia but I like to add my middle name for the effect, DejiaSanaa if you will. I started acting and singing when I was around 4 or 5 years old. I would act as an extra in local movies or write skits and songs for my family to see. I have a movie out on Tubi that I was casted in as ‘Deja’ called Blood for Blood also creating PSA videos with a local acting company as well. I also have performed in some karaoke sets and musicals just to get familiar with every form of acting.and singing. Now Im going to college majoring in Political Science and working to finance my content creator lifestyle.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I have been through some tough obstacles since I was young; however I have always been told that I have a lot heart and so both in t ever stopped me from being myself and pushing through. I have experienced bullying at a young age but I always came out on top because of how I was raised and the strong mindset I have that allows me to make great decisions for the future.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I sing, write songs, create content, and act. I utilize tik tok, instagram, YouTube and Tubi. I have acted in movies, PSA videos on YouTube and stage plays as well. I have some projects that I am working on currently to push out to the world. With the things that I set out to do I make sure that I create a positive and forward thinking message impacting many young adults and children as well.
Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
I love the diversity within Dallas. We have everyone here with different talents and backgrounds. We have great site seeing places and restaurants as well. However, I wish Dallas would support one another more often because we lack togetherness and unity when an artist of any form of entertainment.
