We had the good fortune of connecting with Dehwe Rose and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dehwe, alright, let’s jump in with a deep one – what’s you’re definition for success?
I would define success as being content in your life. There are many different aspects in which you can be successful in life you could be successful career wise, family, or financially successful. But in order to be truly successful you got to have all three. So it really comes down to being at the point in your life where you are happy and comfortable. For example you may not be a millionaire and have seven sports cars in your driveway but you have a significant other with kids, stable job, nice house and a few vehicles, and you are overall happy you have found success in your life. Most people only see success as money wise majority of the time but let’s say there is a billionaire who has a Fortune 500 company, and is a renowned entrepreneur they may be successful career wise but they wishes they had a person and kids to share it with which causes him not to be truly happy. I would consider the person with a family and happy more successful in life and general more successful then the billionaire. When they both become two old to spend their money the “average” person will me more happy having a family and will I’ll consider their life a success over the billionaires life.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My main occupation would be modeling, but I also host events such as concerts, music videos, as well as promote various events. I am also a brand ambassador for numerous brands and have done a collective of photo shoots with local Arizona based brands as well as out-of-state brands. I have main casts for a couple of fashion shows and these upcoming months which I am very excited for as they hold big opportunity for me to really expand my career. To really get in the position I am and today it took a lot of hard work and dedication and play game Time to my crafts and whatever I do. It is not about the quantity it’s about the quality of the work that you’re putting out. It’s also essential and established your career to make connections and build relationships with people. That is one of the things that help me get to where I am today meeting great people early on in my career which allowed me to build relationships with other individuals that have allowed me to integrate myself into different markets of the entertainment industry. Instead of strictly modeling I have made the connections which allows me to host concerts for big artists, set up music videos for artists, as well as even hosting something as simple as a birthday party. I’ve learned that in this industry it a lot about who you know and how well you do what you do. I would not say it is easy but I would not say it’s hard. Nothing that is meaningful and worthwhile comes easy. You just have to be willing to put the time and energy and to make what you want happen. I would want the world to know that I am a young, determined, restless individual that is going to come and take the industry by storm and if I don’t have their attention now I will soon. I strive to build a legacy that will have my name become a household name that lives on after I pass away.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my friend from out of state is coming here for a week everyday we are going to one of my favorite spots which would have to be Buck and Rider, Mastro‘s, Monroe‘s Hot Chicken, El Paisanos At The Rise, and Az Taco King I know these spots will not disappoint. We would definitely go to Downtown Phoenix or Tempe to take pictures and ride the scooters a couple times. We’re definitely going to go to Selfie Wrld, probably spend most of the day there with different outfits. Mill Ave and Old Town are great places to go while visiting. We would definitely go to a couple of the event hosted event week. We would definitely go hiking on a couple different trails out here. We are definitely going go kart racing and paintballing.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would really like to give recognition to my mom because she is really the driving force behind what I do. Growing up she worked so hard to give me and my three siblings the best possible life possible thing a single mom. She would work day and day out to make sure she had money to buy us food and take us to go get clothes. I remember the days where we were struggling and we weren’t living a life as fortunate as we are blessed to be living now. She’s really worked hard and showed me my whole life that if you want something I have to do work hard for it and you can get whatever you want in this world. I’d also like to thank my siblings and all of our family friends for supporting me throughout this entire journey from you first started off my career is with modeling, to doing so many other things and they just all supported me the entire journey.

Also have to give A shout out to my little brother Su he is one of my main motivators. I know as a big brother he looks up to what I do and he has been my best friend since day one. We both have the same goal to prosper and what we do to take care of our mom and his worth ethic is out of this world. He has the same driving wIil to work hard as our mother does so he deserves some recognition for what he does. In just a few years he’s built a name in the high school & AAU basketball world. I’m proud of him, he works hard and deserves all that’s coming his way. I would also like to thank the people at Selfie Wrld Quinn, Riley, and Brittney they’ve met me summer of 2021 and they were all immediately supportive of everything I was doing. Willing to help me whenever I needed any type of assistance, they let me do numerous photo shoots at the space. They are overall amazing people and I am thankful for all they’ve done for me in the short amount of time I’ve know them.
