Denita Stevens is a writer and award-winning poet, a lifelong Texan who two years ago took a leap of faith and relocated to New Jersey to pursue new opportunities.  With family still in Texas, she’s become a long-distance daughter, sister and aunt, staying connected and involved despite the miles.  When she isn’t working on various projects or writing stories for her memoir, Disorderly Life (about living with and recovering from PTSD), Denita enjoys sightseeing and looking for art or nature to photograph.  Whenever possible, her Pomeranian, Lina, is by her side or in her arms.

Denita shares her story in the This Is My Brave Philadelphia 2018 show.
