Diahanne transforms direct and indirect challenges into an opportunity to advance herself and others to ‘be the change they want to see’. In practice, she founded the Baton Awards, a celebration of female achievers, pioneers and innovators nominated from diverse backgrounds, and industries globally championing a wholesome legacy to pass on to future generations.

The Baton Awards has succeeded in acknowledging and inspiring women to excel in their fields by raising awareness in sectors that do not showcase women of colour. Her Strength With In Me Foundation Charity (S.W.I.M) was established promoting healthy relationships by equipping young girls with the mental tools and ability to avoid, combat, and leave toxic relationships.

The Charity has redefined the way society views domestic violence, advocating a preventative approach or changing the narrative and dynamics of households where violence is prevalent and where young women evolve from a bleak disposition to a confident one, making a positive contribution to society.

She formed an All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) and lobbied for a number of years for healthy relationships to form part of the compulsory teaching in UK schools. In September 2020, this ground-breaking change was passed and announced by legislature to the Children and Social Work Bill.

She subsequently gave a presentation on the legislation at a TEDx event using the TED conference format, independently organised by a local community.

Diahanne is also the author of books: ‘I am Intersectionality’, a journal of her life navigating the intersectional social systems of being Black, British, Female, Disability, Entrepreneur, and Christian, where she shares her opinions and experiences as a Global Empowerment Ambassador, Business Consultant, Public Speaker and Diversity Campaigner; and ‘All about Me’ which memorializes a significant stage in her life which reflects back on, focuses forward and looks within, to inspire others to self-invest as the main focus, to succeed in work, relationships, and society.

Diahanne hosts: ‘The Eulogy’ podcast where she honours and celebrates the ‘lived’ experiences of influencers through her powerful interviews that apply ‘forensic evidence’ to investigate the truth behind biased questions, decisions and actions that penetrates multi-cultural society today.
