Imagine being a dancer for stars like Beyonce and Lady Gaga and walking away from it all for a complete career pivot? Well, that’s exactly what Deja Riley did! Today Deja shares with us why she did it, how she’s championing change in the wellness industry and how she’s keeping up with her love for dancing still today. This is such an incredible conversation that left me looking for the good in it all, oh that thing called OPTIMISM. Also what are the best leggings at LuluLemon because that’s important to me.
