Her Drive To Survive: Dezzi Tells All

This week is about mom, a.k.a  Desiree, Dez, Dezzi and also Ron's lover. The mother of the tribe, oldest of four, and perhaps an unclaimed leader to many. (She does a fantastic job). Listen, as we dive into the drive and many adventures of her beginning, and current days. We discuss some of the biggest transitions in her life and present how her confidence and tenacity continues to shape and mold the world around her, despite some challenges. Opposition never seemed to faze the oldest Perez child, as the Perez' were raised in a tight knit, loyal, and protective community. Interesting enough, disloyalty within her workplace was the demise of her Prison occupation and the spark of her current Beauty business, "Stay Gorgeous." From stories in the city, to the suburbs , to the valley, all the way to cowboy boot country and back to the suburbs, follow along as we navigate the journey of Desiree's ideas and upcoming goals.
