Today, we’d like to introduce you to Deloris Hervey. Deloris was introduced to us by the brilliant and talented Joan Montreuil.
Hi Deloris, we’re so thrilled to have you sharing your story with us today. Maybe we can kick things off by having you introduce yourself to our readers? We’d love to have you go into your story and how you got to where you are today.
Deloris Akins-Hervey Child of God, Mother, Director, Writer, Acting Coach, and Producer. A woman of many talents, Deloris delivers authentic stage plays, acting courses, films, and more through her production company, DD’s Showbiz. She has been a vibrant part of the Houston arts community since 2012.
Her passion for youth and the community led her to establish the 501(c)(3) organization, Youth Acting Corner. “At Youth Acting Corner, we are dedicated to providing children with a variety of learning techniques. When children are able to touch, feel, and listen, it significantly enhances their learning experience. Our students actively participate in film productions, collaborating with Brilliant Women In Film and DD’s Showbiz. They gain hands-on experience both behind the scenes and in front of the camera.”
Originally from upstate New York, Deloris moved to Houston, where she earned a Bachelor’s in Business Administration in 2005. Her enduring passion for acting inspired her to start a production company. After years of helping others, Deloris recognized her talent as a listener and guide, which motivated her to pursue a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling.

Alright, so we’d love to learn more about your acting career. What should we know?
I had the privilege of playing the lead role in the film Bullied alongside Joan, a challenging experience that stands as one of my proudest achievements. My career encompasses writing, directing, and producing, and I am currently in post-production for my first feature film, Wrath of a Broken Man.
Joan Montreuil has been a great friend to us and I know you’ve got a great relationship as well. Maybe you can tell our audience a bit about Joan and your experience with them.
I love working with Joan; she has been instrumental in helping me deepen my understanding of the film industry, both in acting and production. Joan’s attention to detail is exceptional—she notices the smallest nuances that can elevate a scene from good to great. Her ability to meticulously plan and execute each aspect of production has taught me the importance of precision and care in every step of the process. Beyond her technical skills, Joan is incredibly patient and kind, always taking the time to guide and support me through each challenge. Her commitment to excellence and her unwavering dedication to her craft have been truly inspiring, making her an invaluable mentor and collaborator.
