Today we’d like to introduce you to Diana Mayers.
Hi Diana, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I’d be happy to share my story.
I grew up in a small town in the southwest of Russia, dreaming of two things since I was a little girl — becoming a model and living in the United States. But like many young dreamers, I faced a tough reality early on: my parents didn’t support my aspirations, and I ended up following a more traditional path. I went to university and earned a law degree — but deep inside, I knew it wasn’t truly me. I never worked a single day in the legal field.
After graduating, I began the journey of finding myself. I tried many creative paths — starting a clothing brand, sewing, photography. Some things didn’t work out, some I enjoyed just as hobbies. Along the way, I completed modeling school and began working as a freelance model. Most of the early work was unpaid TFP shoots, but they helped me gain confidence and build experience.
Eventually, my path led me into the adult film industry. I started traveling across Europe for shoots, and during that time, the dream of moving to the U.S. came back stronger than ever. I finally made it happen — I moved to Los Angeles and fulfilled my childhood dream.
Once in the U.S., I made the decision to leave the adult industry behind and start a new chapter. I continued modeling professionally — now with over 8 years of experience — and also began taking acting classes in LA. Acting opened up a whole new dimension of self-expression and emotional depth for me.
Along the way, I started my own blog, where I share thoughts on self-discovery, creativity, and transformation. Writing came naturally, and now I’m working on my first book — the story has been living in me for a long time, and I’m finally ready to bring it to life.
My path hasn’t been conventional, but every experience — even the difficult ones — helped shape who I am today. I’m passionate about growth, truth, and helping others connect to their own voice through creative expression.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road — not at all.
The hardest part was finding myself. Not in a superficial sense, but truly understanding who I am, what I want, and what I’m meant to do in this world. For a long time, I was searching — trying different paths, chasing things that didn’t quite feel aligned, and often doubting whether I’d ever figure it out. That internal confusion was probably the most painful and exhausting part of the journey.
Another major challenge, especially in modeling, was something physical — my tattoos. When I was training in modeling school, I didn’t have any tattoos. But later on, when I thought modeling wasn’t going to work out for me, I got inked as a personal expression. Unfortunately, in Russia and even in much of Europe, tattoos are still widely frowned upon in the modeling industry. It closed a lot of doors for me and made it really difficult to be taken seriously.
But when I came to the U.S., everything changed. Here, individuality is celebrated. I discovered a whole new world of creative possibilities. It was such a liberating shift, both professionally and personally.
So no, it hasn’t been smooth — but every struggle helped me peel away the layers of who I thought I had to be, and step into who I truly am.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’d love to share more about my work.
I’m a model with over eight years of experience, and while I work across different genres — from fashion to lifestyle and beauty — I think what truly sets me apart is the emotional depth I bring into my work. I don’t just “pose for the camera” — I try to tell a story, to embody a mood, a feeling, a character. My background in acting and my emotional sensitivity help me connect with the energy of the shoot on a deeper level.
I’m also a writer and blogger — I’ve been sharing personal reflections about self-discovery, transformation, femininity, and inner strength. Writing has become one of my favorite forms of self-expression. I’m currently working on my first book, and while I’m keeping the details under wraps for now, I can say it will explore complex psychological and spiritual themes through a powerful narrative. It’s a story that’s lived inside me for a long time, and I’m finally ready to bring it to life.
What I’m most proud of is not just what I’ve done, but how I’ve done it — I built this path on my own terms, overcoming doubt, judgment, and fear. I’ve turned experiences that many would hide into something empowering and honest. I believe there’s real beauty in authenticity and in showing up as your full self, tattoos and all.
Whether I’m in front of a camera or writing a chapter, my goal is the same — to express truth, evoke feeling, and inspire others to own their uniqueness unapologetically.
What makes you happy?
What makes me happy? Definitely my creativity and traveling.
Creative expression is my lifeline — whether it’s modeling, writing, or just capturing a mood through a photo or a thought in my blog. It’s the space where I feel most alive and most myself. When I create, I feel a sense of flow, of connection to something bigger than me. It’s not about perfection or performance — it’s about translating emotion into something visible or tangible. That process grounds me and gives me purpose.
Traveling brings me a different kind of happiness — it feeds my soul with new experiences, perspectives, and inspiration. I love immersing myself in new cultures, exploring unfamiliar streets, noticing small details that spark big emotions. Every trip adds a new layer to who I am and often leads to fresh creative ideas or deep personal insights.
Together, creativity and travel make me feel free — and for me, freedom is the root of happiness.
