Dorm Diaries

Dear Diary: College, Jobs & Curls 💕

Episode Summary

In this episode of Dear Diary, I’m sitting down with De’Niyah Pope, a true definition of that girl. 💕 De’Niyah opens up about her experience with Train Like an Alpha and how it pushed her mentally, physically, and emotionally while she was still balancing college life. We talk about what it really looks like to juggle classes, confidence-building, and everyday girly struggles—from self-doubt to staying motivated when life feels overwhelming. De’Niyah also shares her journey of embracing her locs, learning to love herself fully, and building confidence from the inside out. On top of it all, she’s the owner of @Tru.rootz, a growing hair business she runs while being a full-time student. This episode is all about discipline, self-love, ambition, and showing up for yourself even when things aren’t perfect. If you’re a college girl trying to balance goals, glow-ups, and real life—this one’s for you 💕✨ Enjoyed the music Bout it jsm Music: Tea and Lemonade Musician: Mad Keys (from Audiio) Music: Voyage Musician: @iksonmusic Music: Pure imagination Musician: Rook1e Music: Golden Musician: Jeff Kaale Music: Redwood Trail Musician: music by audionautix.com License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode
