Meet LaDeana MichelleA multi-octave vocalist, actress, producer, songwriter, scriptwriter, musician, arranger, composer, CEO, poet, author, concept designer and more, LaDeanna is a multi-talented women.
LaDeana in her own words... I love fun, comedic, outgoing, REAL folks who don't just gripe all the daggoned time. Life is too short for thaaaat! Take out the wild hair and THEN call me. Furthermore, if you are going to be long-winded, can we talk about something cool? Dang! LOL. I'm a mental, intellectual person about my business, but I am extremely FUN— wouldn't have it any other way. My employees and partners LOVE me… but don't get it twisted and let the sweet smiles fool you. I'm like the basic SISTA prototype 101--I don't take NOOOO mess! LOL.
And she goes on to say... I love kind, but spicy "take no mess" folks who are straight up with me and do what they say. I don’t like to WONDER too long… tell me what’s up, straight up. I'm adventurous… but smart enough to know not to be shark bait… to climb on TOP of the roof of that car instead of trying to outrun the huge— and rapidly approaching— angry dog… go walking alone in the forest at night… jump off a high ledge using a big rubber band with nothing but cement below (that’s Bungee jumping for the adventure impaired, LOL)… remain INSIDE the doggoned house when I hear obvious noises upstairs and ask “Who’s there?” when I already KNOW nobody’s home but me… drive on top of active train tracks with an old car… go to the beach with no sunscreen (Black folks burn, too)… leave the house with no deodorant… or bug repellent… or get eaten by somethin' in some unexplored deep underground cave. I don’t know if nobody told you, but we are NOT one with nature. You can GO ON SOMEWHERE with that. Nature will rip you a new one. LOL. I like to do things outside of the norm, though. Guess I'm a rebel like that. You can go in the front door if ya' want… I'm goin' in thru the back! They just stopped you, but I just snuck on by. LOL.
