Man

When asked what I’ll look for in a future partner, an image immediately pops into my brain. Not of a person, a type, or a look. No. I picture a strong, vibrant tree. Straight lines, fleshed out, and beautiful. The roots traveling deep, reaching into the earth. I can smell the soil. Above the leaves, sunshine, and clouds. But above that, are planets and nebula. Swirling deep purples and blues. I can hear the motion. Boundless expansion. This is what I will hold out for, and there’s no time frame. A wise soul, endlessly growing in both directions. Feet firmly planted. Mind blown open. A man of both earth, and the infinite.

Hello!

Welcome! My name is Deena Marie Manzanares. Because I think it's far more interesting to know who people are, rather than what they do, let's start there. I'm a highly sensitive person who often felt my heart was made of glass, my nervous system on the outside, not meant for a world so harsh. Over the years I learned to harness life's alchemy to redirect my perceived weakness into my superpower. I am the softest warrior you'll ever meet.

I am a single mother to my son. I saw him in a vision years before he was even a possibility. Birth was the moment of my life. Housing the bones and soul of another is completely life-altering, and put all my priorities in just the right places. He is the greatest love I've ever known.

I'm an actor, model, and tv host. Theatre, and storytelling are sacred to me. As an actor, and as an audience member I am able to dissipate into the whole. Relating to story reminds us we are not alone.

I am a member of Actors Equity Association, and represented by Talent Management Group. I'm brand ambassador for business Got Beauty. I am associate artist with the Sting and Honey theatre company. I am a tv host for ABC4.

Over the years I created a large social media following after an extremely popular YouTube channel(s).

I am a shapeshifting poet. My heart comes in many forms. My words, my poetry, my art, my exchanges with you. I'm in progress. I am a giant heartbeat, I am learning, I am sharing it with you here...
