"I grew up in New Jersey with a mom who loved fashion. She dressed me in the cutest, most stylish gear. What I loved most was watching her get dressed, especially for parties and events, and I dreamt about being just like her. She wore a matching necklace and earring set for special events. It was an iridescent set of pearls that, when the light hit them just right, a kaleidoscope of colors danced across the gem. She was glamorous. She kept that set for her entire life, and now those pearls are mine. Each time I hold them, my awe returns and reminds me of our shared love of fashion."

“As someone who had the privilege of working alongside Dianne in marketing at General Motors, I’ve always admired her ability to understand her personal brand and the courage she’s shown in allowing it to evolve over time. In this powerful chapter, Dianne takes you through a career arc shaped by creativity, reinvention, and following your heart. Her story is a must-read for anyone wondering if their ‘next’ is still possible—it is.”
