Denyala Houghton

Denyala Houghton is a contestant from Survivor: Cyclades.

Profile
Name (Age): Denyala Houghton (31)

Tribe Designation: Laurion

Current Residence: San Francisco, CA

Occupation: Jeweler

Personal Claim to Fame: I would have to say being independent. I actually lived with my parents until my mid-20s and I always felt like I had to prove myself whenever I was in their presence. Then moving out and working on my own definitely helped my self-esteem.

Inspiration in Life: I get inspired by the smallest things in life. I like seeing a rainbow, clouds, watching raindrops and then taking all of that and using it to create jewelry that reflects it.

Hobbies: Creating Jewelry, Yoga, Latin Dancing

Pet Peeves: If you look down on me just because I am a woman, I am Latina or whatever your criterion for disrespectful behavior may be, you're not gonna hear the end of it.

3 Words to Describe You: Independent, Open-Minded, Creative

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are the Most Like: Danyella (almost the same name, huh?).

Reason to Being on Survivor: I am a self-made woman, yet I feel this longing in me to keep proving myself in situations where I have to work with other people. I don't get to do that a lot in my line of work. So this should be interesting.
