Her Interview
Ten minutes with Dianne
01What do you attribute your success to?
My mother was the trailblazer in the family. Growing up without her, I grew up with my grandmother who was uneducated and couldn't read until her 30s. I was the oldest girl and had to handle many responsibilities. I want to create a space for young adults and kids to learn skills and universal laws because we are co-creators. My big vision is to build a school in honor of my grandmother.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Go for it. Don't wait to have everything in place. Just take the first step because when you take that first step, the path opens up. Be open, be clear on what you want, seek advice from people who've been there, and don't give up. Being part of a strong community is also important.
