Meet Deonna Hutchinson | Digital marketer & hairstylist

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

Hi Deonna, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Taking risks has always been a major driving force in my life. Every decision I make involves some level of risk, but I’ve never shied away from diving into new experiences or exploring unfamiliar territory. I believe that stepping outside of my comfort zone is where the real growth happens. If I had chosen to play it safe, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Each risk has brought valuable lessons, opened doors to new opportunities, and helped me become the person I am. Embracing the unknown and taking those leaps of faith have been essential to my journey, and I’m grateful for every single one of them.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am the proud owner of Digital It Girl, and my journey as a digital marketer and content creator began in January 2024. Diving into digital marketing was completely new territory for me, I’d been creating content for a while, but I never truly committed to it until this year. I had taken a break from my hair business to be a stay-at-home mom, but eventually, I missed the independence of earning my own income. That’s when I started researching digital marketing, which seemed like the perfect fit. It didn’t demand the same physical labor or endless hours, so I was ready to give it a try.

At first, I was nervous because it required me to show up on social media every day, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready for that level of visibility. But I reminded myself that if I was going to succeed, I’d have to go all in. Fast forward to January 2024: I started posting consistently, and within three weeks, my content began to gain traction. Staying focused and committed throughout the year has paid off, and I’ve been able to earn over $40,000 from digital products alone.

What sets me apart is my creativity, my unique personality, and my eye for creating content that stands out. My ability to think outside the box and bring a fresh perspective has resonated with my audience, and it’s something I truly value about my work.

Getting to this point has taken a lot of dedication and drive. No matter what challenges came my way, I didn’t give up. I had moments of doubt, but I reminded myself of my purpose and kept moving forward. My determination has carried me through every obstacle.

Looking back, what I’m most proud of is how far I’ve come. There were times when people close to me doubted me, but their doubts only fueled my desire to prove myself and keep going. Reaching this point is incredibly rewarding, and it motivates me to aim even higher.

This journey hasn’t been easy. There are days when everything feels on track, and then there are days of doubt. But I’ve learned it’s all about mindset. By having faith in myself and trusting God’s guidance, I’ve been able to overcome those ups and downs.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned along the way is that consistency is everything. To see real results, you have to keep showing up, even when it’s tough.

I want the world to know that I’m here to stay! More than anything, I hope my story inspires others to have faith in themselves and never give up on what they start. No matter the obstacles, keep pushing—you’re stronger than you know.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Owwwww see I’m a home body & I really like to go out the country lol but I’m not really sure where to go I need to get out more 😂

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to dedicate this to God, my son, and my family, my greatest supporters. Without them, I truly don’t know where I’d be. God has always been my foundation, guiding and protecting me through every storm and each new path I choose to explore. I’m grateful beyond words for His constant presence in my life.

I’m especially thankful that God blessed me with my beautiful little boy, Amari. He is the reason I push myself every single day, my motivation to keep going no matter what. When I look at him, I see my purpose and my drive, and it reminds me to keep striving for more.

My parents have also been my rock. No matter what dreams I’ve chased or obstacles I’ve faced, they have stood by my side, always encouraging and supporting me. Their love and dedication mean the world to me, and I am so blessed to have them in my life. I know that if I ever need anything, they’ll be there, lifting me up just as they always have.

To my sisters, Malia and Kendra, my soul sisters and forever best friends,I love you both deeply. You inspire me every day to keep going and to never give up. Our bond and support are gifts I cherish, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have you both by my side.
