Déjà Vu
Host, “The Déjà Vu Show,” Nationally Syndicated Personality, ABC Audio
“You never know what you can do until you try,” a powerful mantra repeated and believed by media personality Déjà Vu. The power of the microphone taught Déjà that connecting with her audience was not just a byproduct of a cushy job, but a responsibility to inspire and motivate the people listening to her daily program. She capitalized on this mission by launching her own teen non-profit organization called “The Flava Unit,” whose members give back to society by performing service projects.
While on air, Déjà Vu brings a unique energy to celeb news and culture, all the while keeping her finger on the pulse of the community. She’s heard across the country through her daily radio programs on ABC Audio’s nationally syndicated “The Déjà Vu Show,” WBLS New York and SiriusXM-The Heat. She can also be heard and seen as the announcer for “LIVE with Kelly and Ryan.”
As a motivational speaker and life coach, Déjà shares her stories from the entertainment world to empower women to pursue their dreams and provides them with the tools to “Ignite Your Hustle," her system that promotes next-level goal planning with sustainable results. She uses her book "Live Your Life Transformed and Repurposed" as a companion guide.
