Reinvention and Empowerment

  1. Reinvention and Empowerment Diane Gilman 53:36

“I’m eager to hear your thoughts on this episode. If there’s a particular topic or person you’d like me to invite, feel free to share—I’m all about spreading the word!”

This interview is with Diane Gilman, the remarkable “Queen of Jeans,” who turned her breast Cancer journey into a story of resilience, empowerment, and transformation. Diane Gilman was born to design fashion. From the time she picked up a crayon as a 2 year old and drew a polka dot dress on a stick figure, the die was cast. All through her early childhood & teens Diane dreamt of moving to New York City and hitting it ‘big’ in the fashion industry.

She started her first fashion store in Los Angeles as a freshman at UCLA in the mid 60’s called “I’m a Hog for You Baby!!” after the supposed first rock n’ roll recording. This soon became a favorite destination amongst Hollywood starlets such as Anne Margaret and Cher.

Mimi Tallo Be Heard Empower Yourself

I have a passion for empowering others through my words and actions. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, I always had a fire in my spirit and a zest for life. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Health and Human Services from the University of Scranton, which ignited my passion for helping others.
I survived an alcoholic father and two abusive marriages and still managed to succeed.
Throughout my career, I have worn many hats, from a Living Skills Facilitator guiding adults with traumatic brain injuries and cerebral palsy to a Women's Liaison at the Lackawanna County Drug Court, where I championed justice and compassion. As the Director of Community Resources at Golden Lakes Village Love in Action, I wove connections and fostered a community of love and collective action.
My books include "Raised by Wolves Trapped by Demons," "Unearthing My Irish Roots," and "Surviving Your Demons." I am currently working on my fourth book, Anatomy of an Alien”. I continue to try and inspire and empower through my writing, podcast and YouTube show “Be Heard Empower Yourself”, speaking engagements, and social media presence.
I am already published on Amazon and Audible in English and Spanish.
I would like an agent to help me expand my presence in the field of non-fiction writing.
