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

Hi DeVa, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I have always wanted to be and Entrepreneur since High School. I wanted to create something I didn’t see to many other women doing in the perfumery industry.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I created a brand specifically geared towards males, and I’m a female.

I ll be releasing my second scent this year.

I have always been a risk taker and determined to finish anything I start and my Faith in God and trusting the process.

No its not easy but its worth it. Challenges are going to come no matter what, i just try to take one moment at a time and figure it out. Don’t give up.

Nothing happens overnight! The name DeJerNi is me and my siblings names which mean Family & Legacy DeJerNi is a brand geared towards males. The first product is Male fragrance scent name II-IV-VII, also have lux tees.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Detroit has lot of Hot Spots from Museums to Karoke! I just celebrated my 40th Birthday in February I had family and friends fly in from Atlanta and Birmingham,AL. I was able to show them around to few spots here, We went Le Petit Dejeuner for Brunch did some shopping at Kold Kreationz Boutique, went to the River Walk. Had lunch at Pizza Cat Downtown, Nightlife a bar name Duo’s, ended the weekend at Kickback Karoke at Club Oasis.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My support comes from my Mother brother and sister and my late father, Without them it wouldn’t be a DeJerNi! Also my close circle of friends who all happens to be Entrepreneurs.
