We recently had the chance to connect with Diva Dionne Character and have shared our conversation below.
Diva Dionne, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What is a normal day like for you right now?
A normal day for me is about rising with gratitude and gratefulness. Each moment of the day is about staying connected, while living my creative lifestyle. I meditate, I hike and I love cooking great meals, as I welcome change on a daily basis.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am Diva Dionne Character, Essence Bestselling Author, Columnist and Creative, The author of Goddess Wild, My Plant-Based Journey and The Spiritual Food Healer. I help women dealing with chronic illnesses make better food choices, while spiritually elevating their mental through food.
I’ve cured myself from inflammation, insomnia, coffee addition and …, eliminating meat, sugar, dairy and alcohol from my daily lifestyle. This transformation has been both mentally and spiritually rewarding. My life is filled with joy and happiness. I also assist women with detoxing the mind, body and spirit, as we tap into childhood trauma through food. I also help my clients learn how to cook meals to cleanse their guts through my detox recipes.
This new wellness journey, I never saw coming. After over 20 years in the entertainment industry as a singer, poet and entertainment columnist from New Orleans, I am grateful to be able to share my expertise through books, speaking engagements and hosting wellness events.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
My earliest memory of feeling powerful was in the 6th grade. I decided that I would play my uncle’s old trumpet and showed up for band class. I was ridiculed by the boys, who could not believe a girl was trying to play a brass instrument.
This powerful decision lead to my mastering French-horn and various other brass instruments. I traveled Europe as a professional background singer and performed in various theatre productions. I have come full circle with pursuing my dreams, as the culture of New Orleans continues to live within me.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
Girl, you are a bad bitch!
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes. I am a creative who enjoys a minimal lifestyle. I love live music, reading and writing poetry. I am always ready to give positive feedback whether it’s good or bad. I am a very honest person who lives with intention.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. When do you feel most at peace?
I feel most at peace when I am following my own path. Staying spiritually and mentally connected to the earth. Living in gratitude, finding quiet moments to celebrate the beautiful life I have carved out for myself.
