Difernt was born on December 15, 1990, in Houston, Texas, Fifth Ward. Overcoming homelessness and foster care, Difernt had a normal childhood until she was eleven when her family became homeless. For the next three years, Difernt and her family lived in various places including strangers' houses, cars, parks, bus stops, shelters, and even a crack house. At fourteen, she was secretly placed in foster care. After six months of being in the system and trying to get out, she discovered that in the State of Texas, "foster kids" who aged out of care could qualify to have college tuition fees waived. A light bulb went off in Difernt's head. She then used her street smarts to elevate her book smarts which led her to beat the odds. Difernt is now an alumnus of Sam Houston State University and a member of the Beta Theta Chapter of Phi Chi Theta. She graduated receiving her Bachelor's in International Business, with two minors in Economics & Business Communication, and her Master's in Entrepreneurship. Difernt is also a Texas Real Estate Agent and now the owner and CEO of TH3RD EYE Entertainment, LLC. She has a love for traveling and has visited close to fifty countries and participated in amateur kickboxing. Her hobbies include reading, watching "Shark Tank," journaling, meditating, biking, ATV riding, ziplining, and hanging out with her best friend—her nephew.
Difernt always knew she was meant for greatness. However, she understood to become the person she was meant to be would take fixing her inner issues that plagued her past. It was not until she found the courage to do something about her depression and dismiss the notion that "black people don't do therapy." While in therapy, Difernt was encouraged to channel her negative experiences into a positive outcome. She quickly learned that she could manifest the life she was meant to have with strategic planning, proper preparation, and constant prayer—and wants others to do the same with their lives. Now at the age of thirty, realizing she is not the person she once was, and by God's grace, Difernt is
ready for the next adventure in her life—publishing her first book.
With "WHAT IF? A Controversial Paradigm Shift,” Difernt hopes to inspire individuals to have healthy conversations with others about systemic racism. She hypothesizes that when we have these conversations about systemic racism and other taboo subjects, that over time, this brings social awareness, and society can start to change for the better because when you know better, you do better.
