SMALL TOWN GIRL Making It In High Heels One is instantly attracted to this self driven, compassionate, enthusiastic POWERHOUSE! Deveshni Kullen (affectionately known as Dee) is the creative behind DVS Business Solutions. Dee hails from a little town called Nonoti (near Stanger/Darnall on the North Coast of Kwa-Zulu Natal) Throughout her schooling career she was exposed to a narrow path however a motivating force to dream big never left her imagination. Dee attended a semi-rural school and became the first student to obtain four distinctions! This was her first accomplishment to record that she is destined for the greater good. PASSION AND PURPOSE By combining my love for marketing, my love for entrepreneurship and my intense desire to help small businesses get noticed - I created a social media marketing businesses! From a quiet introvert to an exuberant ambivert, Dee has accomplished what she says is the seemingly impossible for a farm girl. She is well educated with morals and values as well as a formal qualification - a Bachelors Degree in Administration (Marketing) and a higher certificate in Marketing Management. Together with her paperback knowledge she is equipped with a wealth of experience in the marketing industry, having been employed by agencies straight out of campus. THE UNIVERSE GIVES US A NUDGE 12 It’s amazing, when you trust your gut, instead of overthinking and overanalysing During her times of discomfort Dee recalls a few events that shaped her into being who she is today. One that stood out was the bold choice to live with her dad and grandmother after her parents divorced. She thanks them for their continuous faith in her, in steering her towards her passion and never giving her the option to back down from her goal. The untimely death of her grandfather taught her that life is too precious to be wasted wallowing in pity. This void steered Dee into reading and she now understands why that was an important adjustment in her life. Her grandfather was the first entrepreneur in the family, owning a small shop that serviced local cane labourers, and she intends to honour his legacy by continuing her entrepreneurial journey.
WITTY AND PRETTY - PAYING IT FORWARD I have been fortunate enough to have an amazing business mentor Lauren Abdo, who took me under her wing and helped me climb the ropes! I pay it forward whenever I can - whether it’s giving advice to existing entrepreneurs or to aspiring entrepreneurs. I am a cheerleader of small business growth. I love to see businesses succeed!
