Deni Dedmon

Seventeen-year-old Denise “Deni” Dedmon has always been interested in words and speaking her mind. When it comes to her writing, she loves to write about everything, from entertainment (she’s an avid Kehlani fan) to book reviews (she’s been reading since the age of one) to controversial topics and current events (ya know, your average angry black girl things). Being the oldest of five girls, she is also passionate about young black girls, their self-esteem, and making sure that they’re proud of being who they are. She plans to study journalism at Howard University in the fall.
