THE UNSPOKEN TRUTH
You know the feeling:
You show up early. You stay late. You say the right things. You play the game — and you still get cut out of decisions, passed over, overlooked, and talked over like your expertise never happened. No one ever sounds like the problem. But you feel the cost every single day.
-
You’re the one who knows the answers, but nobody asks you.
-
You raise your hand, but someone else gets the credit.
-
You deliver excellence, and you get … polite indifference.
That’s not normal. That’s not “just the way it is.”
That’s disrespect disguised as expectation.
You feel it. You’ve lived it. And every time you tell yourself it’s your fault… it’s not.
FIRST‑GEN PROFESSIONALS — LISTEN UP
If you’re the first person in your family to build this kind of career — you carry two invisible weights:
 1. The pressure to never fail (because too many people are counting on you)
2. The weight of not knowing the rules — while everyone around you acts like they do
You learn the corporate script by watching others perform it — but nobody ever gives you the handbook.
So you hustle. You overprepare. You anticipate. And still…
you feel like you’re one mistake away from being exposed.
You’re not imagining it. You eat that stress every day.
IF THIS HITS CLOSE TO HOME…
*Been the expert in the room but invisible in the results
*Said the right thing, watched someone else get the praise
*Learned how to work harder — but not how to be heard
*Been told “be confident” but never shown how
*Held the weight of responsibility without the power you deserve
If this feels like your story, you’re in the exact right place.
MEET DEONDRIEA CANTRICE
My story began long before the awards or the stages. I was a teen mother navigating a world that underestimated me. That boxed me in with stereotypes and statistics.
I built over a three-decade career in operations, project management, training, and global IT program leadership. I mastered change management and guided organizations through massive shifts and implementations. But beneath the success was a silent struggle.
I battled burnout. I hid high-functioning depression.
I lived in constant overdrive, fearing that slowing down meant failing. And when I could not find language for that pain, I created one: Profliction™.
Today, I transform that lived experience—and the science of behavior, identity, and change—into a powerful pathway that helps others break free from the invisible burdens they were never meant to carry. My mission is simple:
To restore your confidence, recalibrate your identity, and return you to yourself.
WHY DEONDRIEA
She gives framework and language to what you already feel and tools to finish the story you started.
She doesn’t whisper platitudes. She names the thing that’s been eating at you.
She doesn’t tell you to try harder. She shows you how to matter in ways you’ve been told you already do — but never experienced.
She has walked this exact road. She speaks to the woman who never got the memo that she’s supposed to quit caring about respect — just to keep her job.

The Three Principles That Shape Every Transformation
Presence:
Show Up Rooted and Real
 Confidence begins the moment you stop performing and start standing in your identity. Your presence becomes powerful the moment you decide to be seen without apology.
Principle:
Align With Your Truth
Principle is the compass that replaces people-pleasing with clarity.
It's choosing your truth over their comfort—and discovering how freeing that choice feels.
Power:
Lead Your Life With Authority
Power isn’t loud. It’s aligned.
It’s claiming the authority you’ve already earned and directing your life with self-trust instead of fear.
You’ve Mastered Survival. Now It’s Time to Thrive.
You’ve spent years excelling, adapting, and performing—often at the cost of your peace and self-trust. You’ve led teams, managed crises, and checked every box of success… yet something still feels misaligned. That’s not failure.
Deondriea helps you break that cycle.
Her proven frameworks turn overachievement into alignment and silence into self-assured leadership. When confidence meets clarity, everything changes.
IF YOU ARE HERE, YOU ARE READY FOR MORE.
You are ready to stop performing confidence and finally embody it.
You are ready to stop surviving environments that have wounded your spirit.
You are ready to step into a version of yourself you have only imagined—
the one who chooses with clarity, speaks with conviction, and moves with authority.
Imagine waking up with the feeling:
“I am no longer negotiating my worth.”
This is the moment you choose sovereignty.
