Meet Dejah Gomez | Mother, Artist, Entrepreneur

We had the good fortune of connecting with Dejah Gomez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dejah, as a parent, what do you feel is the most meaningful thing you’ve done for them?
The most meaningful thing I have done for my children is love myself fiercely, believe in myself and my capabilities, be a forever student willing to learn, challenge myself to grow and become more, respect and value myself and all that I have to offer, set clear boundaries that keep me safe and nourished, and trust myself.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Professionally, I am building a membership based community which requires me to write, study, read, and record. I have also been performing live which requires a lot of my energy.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If I had a friend visiting, I would take them to the beach in the South Bay. I love being in nature, so we would go to the beach and enjoy a delicious and healthy meal at Turquoise in the Redondo Beach Riviera. Afterwards, we would take a sweet drive through Palos Verdes and enjoy the beautiful views along the coast. 

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I dedicate my shoutout to Ms. Bernie Bates, my mentor and teacher/ librarian from 1st grade who took me by the hand and ensured I used my gifts for good by delivering me to the youth choir at the age of 12.
