Women to Women Nevada with DeDe Stevens
DeDe Stevens of Carson City is this week's guest on Women to Women. Ms. Stevens was born in Bogota, Columbia of a Columbian birth mother who shortly gave her up for adoption in a Bogota orphanage.
Upon being adopted by an American family, DeDe officially entered the United States when she was 12 years old. She is a graduate of Arizona Western College in Yuma, Ariz., with a degree in Spanish.
Ms. Stevens has also spent 26 years in the National Guard from which she is now retired.
Her insights about trying to fit into a new culture with a new language as a teenager allows her to tell an immigrant's story as one challenge after another.
Now as an active 24/7 volunteer for her church, First Presbyterian, and for the community, she is able to say that faith, strength, humor, determination, and a positive outlook paved her way through much adversity.
In its third season, Women to Women Nevada, hosted by Carol Paz of Carson City, is televised on Charter Media every Thursday at 7 p.m. on Channel 190 in Carson City, Gardnerville, Dayton, Reno, Sparks, Fernley, Fallon and Lake Tahoe. The program also airs Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays at 8-8:30 p.m. and on Sundays from 11:30 a.m. to noon. Episodes also appear every Friday on Carson Now.
The locally produced and privately owned program features Northern Nevada women who are making a difference in their communities and in the region.
