A darling of the southeast, DeeDee attended Cedar Grove High School in Ellewood, GA prior to the University of Tennessee, where she majored in Criminal Justice. While with the Vols, DeeDee set the UT 400m record (50.00s) and took home an NCAA runner-up in 2003 and the Outdoor Championship title in 2004. One of the most decorated female sprinters in US history, she is a 3-time Olympic medalist, 3-time World Champion, and 3-time USA Champion. DeeDee says, "Any time you see me running on the track, just know that I am doing it in honor of YOU, and I hope to be a walking inspiration to everyone I can reach."

As motivating on the track DeeDee is, she seeks to inspire equally off. The only other place she feels like a champion other than on the podium is when she is on stage speaking. She relates, "There is no bigger rush than the one that I feel knowing that I was able to encourage, inspire, and motivate someone to reach their goals or push on through a hard time. Encouragement is truly a priceless gift and I love to give it out!" She wants her fans to know that having their support is one thing she uses as motivation everyday, and believes that with the support of others we can all climb higher and go further.

You can always tell when DeeDee is nearby, as her loving and kind personality is infectious to everyone around; truly one in a million! Known for glitter and facepaint in races. she applies her excellent creativity toward hobbies of decorating and event planning.
