Phenomenal Woman of the Month: Deborah "Queen"

Deborah "Queen" is a 22 year old college student studying to get her Master's in Legal Studies at Texas State University. She is Nigerian but originates from Pearland, Texas. "Queen", as she is lovingly called on campus, is an Academic Coach, motivational speaker and a writer. I was so intrigued by her charisma that I had to nominate her myself because of her confidence, her resilience, her sophistication and of course, her fashion sense. Read below to find out more about Queen.

1. "What does a phenomenal woman mean to you"
A: A Phenomenal Woman is a woman that owns her beauty, talent and confident. She is completely secure in herself and inspires others to fall in love with themselves.

2. "What is your brand and how did you get it started?"
A: My brand is Redefining BEAUTY, where Beauty stands for Becoming Educated Artistic and Understanding Towards Yourself.

I developed this idea at 17 after a breakup because I wanted to fall in love with myself. I was tired of people telling me that I was not good enough. This brand started as a personal mission statement and grew into something bigger than myself.

3. "What is your dream goal and how do you plan on achieving it?'
A: My goal is to inspire women to embrace their unique beauty by becoming the most authentic version of themselves. I plan on achieving this goal by becoming Miss Africa USA and spreading more awareness on Redefining BEAUTY Movement on a daily basis.

4." Name a moment that inspired you to feel more confident and inspired you to be more comfortable in the skin you are in."
A: The moment I stepped into the presence of the Creator of the Universe (God), my life changed forever. Understanding the story of the gospel compelled me to embrace the uniqueness of my beauty.

5. "Name a person (dead or alive) that you look up to and why?"
A: My mother because she is the definition of phenomenal. She is the reason why I am here today.

6. When it comes to being a woman, what do you feel should be the three core values that a lady should uphold?
A: a. Becoming: Embracing the process of becoming. Womanhood is a unique journey.
     b. Artistic: Embracing unique creativity.
     c. Understanding Towards Yourself: Learning to love who you are completely.

7."Favorite quote and what does it mean to you?"
A: My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion; some compassion, some humor, and some style.

-Maya Angelou

I believe that life should not be ordinary. I am a very passionate human being and I strive to make every moment an event. That is how I stay joyful and creative.

8. "Piece of advice that you would give to young girls who aren't confident in themselves?"
A: You are absolutely amazing. You are the daughter of the Creator of the entire universe who was designed for a unique purpose. Know that you are irreplaceable and exchange the lies society feeds you for the truth of God's word. Grow into your beauty by becoming educated, artistic, and understanding towards yourself.
