Chapter 01

DeAndrea Austin

Off stage she is DeAndrea Austin: grounded, determined and deeply committed to her craft. On stage she is Mama D: unapologetic, fearless, energetic and completely herself.

That gap between the two is where the work lives. The preparation, the styling, the rehearsal, the discipline of showing up ready every single time a crowd is waiting.
