Scottie is a poster child for the feeling of Hot Girl Summers, the joy of a perfect hair day, good vibes, getting a raise, and all of the little things that millennial Black women have come to cherish
Deanii Scott was basically born on the radio. Her mother is a longtime R&B DJ on New York's 107.5 WBLS. But being the daughter of a DJ doesn't necessarily amount to a life of ease, wealth, recognition, or even a guaranteed career—especially not if you're a Black woman. Instead, what this lineage instills within you is a love for music, a sense of hustle, and a willingness to walk away when things don't sound quite right.
"Scottie Beam is Deanii," she told me when we sat down to chat at the NYLON offices."Just a bit amplified. Just a bit louder. And a bit more proud… Someone who is learning how to be self-aware, open, and vulnerable with everybody so that we can try to dissolve feeling alone." One of the ways Scottie does this is by offering up Instagram content that draws audiences in on multiple fronts.
On State of the Culture, Scottie was often the only voice offering an unapologetically pro-Black women's perspective, and she wasn't always praised for it. Still, fans were shocked when she chose to leave the show in an effort to put her mental health first."I don't want to be unhappy in things that don't serve me," she told me.
