A BEAUTIFUL TESTIMONIAL
I was new to the industry back in 2012, when I took a workshop that DeShawn was teaching. You know how you meet someone new and you're instantly comfortable with them like you were quite possibly friends in another lifetime? Yeah, that was us. In that workshop I learned soooooo much from DeShawn. She saw something in me that I didn't know I had and made sure she challenged it out of me!
Pivotal to my learning was her teaching about assisting. True enough, as I've found out over the years since then, being a great artist is all about your ability to support. The glitz and the glam, the titles, the prestige, the honor, all of that will come; but you gotta crawl before you walk! More often than not, that means crawling your behind on set to assist someone that's in the place you want to be! She emphatically said "you may not ever touch a face that day, you may be the one that has to go buy donuts and coffee that day!" That resonated so loudly. If you can't handle the simple tasks, why on earth would you be given the challenging ones?
Every step I've taken since that day, I've kept DeShawn's invaluable teachings in the forefront of my mind. I guarantee I wouldn't have grown as fast as I have, professionally, these past several years if not for her! Thank you DeShawn! Xoxo
