+ What’s your favorite movie & song?

+ What would you like for people to know about you?
I would like people to know that my passion is helping others and I love to laugh. I quote song lyrics and movie lines often so if this isn’t your lane you might want to move over. I played professional football and am looking forward to being a licensed sports and performance psychologist to help people and athletes perform to the best of their abilities in their career.
+ What is your favorite thing about yourself?
My favorite thing about myself is that I strive to always see the glass as half full. Always making the best out of a situation instead of complaining and taking the victim mentality.
“Control what you can control.”
+ What do you want to experience in this life?
I’ve lived a great life up to this point, I want to experience having a family, being a father, and making an impact on this world that will be here long after I leave this Earth.
+ What is one of your favorite things about yourself?
I have a way of making others comfortable by being myself and allowing them to do the same. I guess you can say I’m easy to be around/get along with. People say they feel like they knew me in another life.
+ What are some things or areas in your life that you STAND TALL for?
I STAND TALL for reading. I read as much as I can and challenge others as well. Young black and brown men are at the bottom in terms of reading and mathematics. In order to change this, we must show the importance of reading by being the example and lending our time and effort to developing programs that can further assist in helping minorities.
I STAND TALL for ADD/ADHD. Through my younger years and into adulthood, I've been diagnosed with ADHD and often struggled in school and football because of it. Getting tested was a big step for me and I’ve learned that this is a real problem if it goes unaddressed. I want other people to know that they are not alone. That they can still be productive and reach their goals and aspirations. This will not hold you back and you can develop the skills and discipline to overcome this disorder.
+ What do you feel is your purpose?
My purpose is to instill confidence in others and help them achieve their goals and aspirations both personally and professionally.
+ What are some of your daily practices to stay physically and mentally healthy?
I try to meditate every morning when waking up to get my day started off on the right foot followed by a cup of tea in silence to process the events for the day.
Focus on breathing
I try to workout 5-6 days a week. Even if it's stretching or a light run. Get up, get out of the house, and get active.
I’ve been doing yoga for the past 11 years and definitely love when I’m able to get to the studio and practice in a heated room.
+ What does good posture mean to you?
Good posture means everything. I feel we take it for granted until we have an injury or discomfort to draw attention to it. Having good posture can help you whether at the gym, in yoga class, or behind your desk at work.
+ Do you think others you know can benefit from using IntelliSkin? Why?
Yes, IntelliSkin can help a few people I know. They’ve never had any apparel that can focus and correct their posture and I know they will be very perceptive to wearing something that is so discreet.
+ What does success mean to you when it comes to your whole life?
Success to me is measured on being happy. If I can look back and have no regrets on the impact I've made with people from all walks of life and have little to no regrets, then I know I maximized the life that was given to me. If I can provide my family with things I didn’t have when I was growing up then I must be doing pretty well. My parents worked extremely hard to provide for my siblings and I, we always had everything we needed to succeed.
+ What did you learn about yourself over the last year?
I learned that I need to put myself out there more. Take more risks and stop measuring so much.
+ What did you think of IntelliSkin when you first tried it on?
The tight fit of IntelliSkin reassured me of the main function to provide support in areas that have long been underserved.
+ How do you think IntelliSkin can help you?
IntelliSkin can help me during those long hours at my desk where I begin to slouch and slump as the day goes on.
+ What is most important to your future?
Most important to my future is health. Being able to see my family grow older and well enough to play with grandkids and great grandkids.
+ What does Stand Tall mean to you?
Stand Tall means to have courage. To stand up in the face of adversity with your chin and head held high ready for all that is thrown your way.
Meet Dezirae Schalice
+ Describe yourself in a few words
I would consider myself a creative, passionate, well-balanced person. I'm a musician, model, and teacher and I take each of these seriously, but I take my playtime just as seriously.
+ What’s your favorite movie & song?
I don't have a favorite movie, I'm either entertained, or not! But my favorite song of this moment is probably "Ooh La" by John Legend. It makes me feel so alive and happy.

+ What are some things or areas in your life that you STAND TALL for?
I stand tall for people believing in their own self-worth. I have spent enough of my life making myself small or doubting my abilities and my potential. The time has come to live fully in my passion and purpose, and I try to encourage everyone in my life to do the same.
+ What do you feel is your purpose?
I'm discovering that my purpose may be exactly what I'm already doing. I've always been a great teacher and cheerleader for others. But even as a teacher, for a long time I felt unfulfilled in my work. Now that I'm living out my passion and guiding/inspiring others simply by being myself, I feel complete.
+ What are some of your daily practices to stay physically and mentally healthy?
I like to stay physically active, but abiding by a routine has a feeling of monotony to it that I don't love, so I tend to listen to my body and mind and do what feels best for that day. Some days that's a strength workout, others it's a bike ride, or a run. Other times it's meditation, or some kind of combination. I just try to be sure that whatever activities I choose for the day fill me with feelings of gratitude and peace.
+ What does good posture mean to you?
To me, good posture means health, strength, and positivity. I don't know anyone in my life that is lacking one of those and can still stand tall day in and day out.
+ Do you think others you know can benefit from using IntelliSkin? Why?
I think everyone can benefit from IntelliSkin. I love wearing IntelliSkin and being reminded to stand up straight. It's most helpful during those periods of sickness, stress, and/or fatigue. The times when our psyche struggles just as much as our posture are the times when we need the reminders the most.
+ What does success mean to you when it comes to your whole life?
For me, success will be living authentically, helping others, and creating art that reflects and does all of that as well.
+ What did you learn about yourself over the last year?
Over the past year, I've learned that I am not defined by my lowest and darkest moments, but that I can own my mistakes, grow, and move forward. I've learned the significance of nuance in my life.
+ What did you think of IntelliSkin when you first tried it on?
My initial thought was probably "wow this is tight, how am I gonna fit this over my hair?" My second thought was one of confidence. I felt my shoulders fall away from my ears and I felt myself relax more into my body.
+ How do you think IntelliSkin can help you?
I have already enjoyed wearing
IntelliSkin so much while performing on stage. It has elevated my stage presence just by making me feel supported and tall. Even in rehearsal when I'm spending hours at my keyboard, I feel much stronger and less physically tired when wearing IntelliSkin!
+ What is most important to your future?
My mental and physical health is definitely number one in importance for my future and my dreams. I need to continue to feel capable, healthy, and well in order to continue my work, and experience all the good this world has to offer.
+ What does Stand Tall mean to you?
To me, "Stand Tall'' means "believe in yourself" of course! What could be more important!
