DeDe Nicole encourages others to find self-love within themselves by choosing themselves above everything else. DeDe teaches self-love is a beautiful discovery when you choose to love yourself unconditionally. Continuing to choose others over you, comparing yourself to others, and choosing to stay in toxic relationship environments, is unhealthy self-love awareness. The self-love journey helps us grow in confidence within ourselves, learn who we are as individuals, and manage our mental well-being. DeDe wants every person she encounters to realize their worth and that your value does not rely on the opinions of others but that you have already been validated by GOD.
You see, this is DeDe Nicole’s own story. Unfortunately, after years of choosing and staying in the wrong relationships, friendships, not seeing her worth or value, comparing herself to others, especially when it came to body image, looks, and career, not having her biological father in her life, 6 years of chronic depression and a host of other things, Dede Nicole found an authentic relationship with Christ, a church family who provided a genuine and strong support system, that helped lead her down a healing path to regain her true identity in Christ. She even found the motivation to go back to college and become a social worker in the community. DeDe Nicole will forever stick to this motto: Self-love is the best love and I will always choose me every time.
