From past experiences with poverty, isolation and loneliness, Della learned to take advantage of different circumstances to "rise from the ashes like a phoenix" with renewed determination to walk out her preordained destiny. As the seventh child out of fifteen, Della came into her unique personality early on, which became the driving force for many of the decisions made as a young adult. Della's journey, although a tortuous path, led her ultimately to become an ordained minister and founder of the Daughters of Zion Ministry. Through this anointed ministry, Della has embraced her destiny and finds great joy in passing on the wisdom acquired over the years to help young women find their rightful place in society.
