Meet Dev’Yon Brice | TV Personality & Business Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Dev’Yon Brice and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dev’Yon, career-wise, where do you want to be in the end?
My goal is to become one of the top actors and influencers in the world. A household name if you will. All while persuading my people to believe in themselves and their brands, and to go after their dreams regardless of the situation they may be in. If I can do it, anyone can.”

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I begin my journey into entrepreneurship with Airbnb, after accumulating multiple properties, I later added a fleet of luxury vehicles, and entertainment packages to the portfolio, creating A-List Concierge Inc. While building business, I suffered personally, battling an unknown silent killer depression. Determined to not be defeated I began to work on my mind, spirit, and my body a total revamp. Although he didn’t know it at the time that’s when the story started.

At my lowest, is when I was fully introduced to myself, I lost 150lbs! I woke up every day and worked out and forced myself to believe in myself. I wake up every day with the motivation to pursue everything that I desire, that way at least I know I’ve tried, no more what ifs, I was down too long, I’m only taking chances these days. For the longest I didn’t believe in myself and that held me back in life. The moment I changed my mindset, my life changed forever. This pushed me to coach others to fight for their dreams as well.

A year later a producer with Lifetime reached out to me after reading my story and wanted to continue to document my journey. K Michelle’s My Killer Body; The show captured the aftermath of a failed attempt at plastic surgery. After a 150lb weight loss I decided to opt in for plastic surgery which later led to complications. Airing Thursdays on Lifetime @9/8c You’ll see me tackle yet another hurtle in life, it’s unfortunate but it motivated me to continue on my journey to live life. While recording with Lifetime I fell in love with being in front of the camera. “I’ve had many positions in my life, if it’s out there I’ve probably tried it but the day I walked on set. I knew I was right at home and never wanted to leave,”

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?
I’m the chill friend so anywhere I go is going to be a vibe but a little laid back, Like me. Whenever I have friends in town I like to take them to Dantanna’s for drinks & Cigars, STK for dinner and maybe a lounge or bar afterwards. Views Bar & Grill, The Linnethia Lounge, and EscoSeafood, Blue and of course Magic City are some of my Go-to. I’m fairly new so I’m still learning the spots.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Of course God first, my family and my friends that support me in whatever I choose to do. Last but not least, Benedict College. That’s where I got my wings, I learned so much about the world and about myself. I learned through trial and error what I was truly capable of and I owe it all to that experience. Gerald Smalls ESQ, Dr. Gwenda Greene, & Kentrail Grooms, All remarkable people at Benedict that have helped mold me in some way shape or form. I’m forever indebted to them for the impact they’ve made on my life.
