Deja Milany is a Detroit based Creative.

She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts, in Fibers from the College for Creative Studies. Born in Atlanta, GA but has always called Detroit her home. She grew up immersed in environments celebrating the elaborate world of black hair. Her mother, being a cosmetologist specializing in natural hair & braiding, exposed her to the hair shows, magazine shoots, and the sisterhood built in the beauty salon. 

She soon discovered the connection between the intimate details within the craft of hair braiding, head wrapping, and needle crafting techniques. Her artworks are an exploration of adornment & self-discovery by challenging the world's interaction with black hair.
