We are jade + deanna, lead changemakers
It all started when LA-based Showroom Owner Jade came across ATL-based Retail Consultant, DeAnna on Insta. A DM was sent. Eye-opening conversations were had. Many months and work sessions later, Diversify Retail® was born.
In 2020, we were compelled to pour our combined 35+ years in retail, our network, our time, and our love into making sure that an invitation for youth to explore and grow in retail was a permanent, ever-chasing mission at the forefront of the industry. We have joined forces with countless other Retail professionals to not only bring awareness to youth, but more importantly, to empower and equip them with the tools and strategies to excel and build a long-term, legacy-building ideas, products and business for themselves and their families.
