We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Deion Messiah. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Deion below.
Deion, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today One of the most important things small businesses can do, in our view, is to serve underserved communities that are ignored by giant corporations who often are just creating mass-market, one-size-fits-all solutions. Talk to us about how you serve an underserved community.
As the CEO of Don Devitto, I take great pride in being able to help as many people as possible in every underserved or low income area the globe. That being said, Don Devitto’s first Annual Giveback had to happen in Charlotte, North Carolina. Closest to home on Beatties Ford road, at Great Things. Great Things is a staple of the culture, and a long lasting resource for fashion.
Throughout the summer of 2022, (My Team) Don Devitto International Committee held donation events randomly to engage with the communities across the Charlotte area. Every piece of clothing item donated whether clothes, shoes, accessories, along with a few other household items were giving back to the community. On October 22, 2022 Don Devitto were able to provide items for up to 75-100 Families not counting all the smiles it brought upon the community standing by.
Deion, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Personally, I feel as though Deion Messiah (The Man) is a man of as many talents as he strive for. A student of learning, to improve all aspects of life around himself. Which often leads to helping others, such a family, friends, etc.
Don Devitto the brand meaning “Give Life” for short. “Give to enhance Life.” As a member of Don Devitto International committee, we take great pride & joy in serving the many muted underserved communities around the globe. Don Devitto is not a nonprofit organization. Don Devitto is a brand built to empower its people to be comfortable in their own skin to invest in themselves, their people and their culture.
An annual percentage of Don Devitto’s Signature Collection is given back to an underserved/underprivileged community in the form of a donation, giveback or events for community building.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
When it comes to social media, don’t be too focused on the numbers starting out. At the beginning Don Devitto’s main goal was to interact with everyone following, more of creating a place for conversion on ideas, videos. As my side hustle is photography & videography a good amount of my audience comes from entertainers, models, clients coming across my work online or me personally. My only advice is to build an organic audience because content slows, but the loyalty stays.
Do you have multiple revenue streams – if so, can you talk to us about those streams and how your developed them?
Yes, Don Devitto has multiple streams of revenue.
