Like father, like daughter. Deiondra Sanders has adapted one of the best qualities from his father: Standing up for oneself. In an emotionally loaded podcast with Finesse, Deiondra Sanders mustered the courage to address the dark events of her life, and how she continues to find her way around them.

Deiondra Sanders’ past with abuse continues to haunt her to date. But being the brave woman she is, she does not stop standing up against them. Call it her way of slowly, but steadily removing the bad blood from her life, but she once again refuted her past abuser in an elaborative text on Instagram. “People wanna keep throw subliminals. Let’s do it! I’m already on one so keep playing with me. Ima grown woman not a child so if you wanna get in this too lets go!! Respect goes both ways and I’m tired of being disrespected just because you’re older. I’m done now but I said what I said and Ima stand on it,” exasperated Deiondra Sanders with her forbidding words.

The daughter of Deion Sanders has been a victim of the worst days, with physical and mental abuse, cheating, and abhorrent name-calling, leaving her traumatized for years altogether. Fortunately, with the support of her loved ones and her inner strength, she bettered her mental state with the help of therapy, as she stated in the podcast. While therapy helped her sort her mental well-being out, setting bigger goals and even bigger boundaries in life made her what she is today, as evident from her fervent rebel on Instagram against her foe. Deiondra Sanders also claimed that experiencing different forms of therapies and learning how to communicate was what aided her the most in her journey.
