She was merely seven years old when she was introduced to the world of acting and film. Delicia has acted in several movies including Little Rude Boys, Girls, and Lessons Learned.

While talking about her story, Delicia remarked, “Some teenagers want to live their lives in the fast lane, or they make the wrong decisions out of anger. These can sometimes lead to deadly crises before we realize them. I also want other teens to understand that sometimes our parents appear to be nagging and overbearing, but the reality is they are just looking out for us. It’s unfortunate that some of us never realize it until it’s too late.”
