We had the good fortune of connecting with Diamond Francis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Diamond, do you have any habits that you feel contribute to your effectiveness?
Habits that I feel contributed to my effectiveness is prayer, believing in myself, staying consistent and trusting the process. To sum it all up, I would say just having a positive mindset.

I make it a habit to feed my mind with positive thoughts and affirmation every single day. Of course it’s easier said than done some days with the weight of the world on my shoulders, but I also know there is no sense in worrying. So positive mindset habits is what’s been helping me succeed, and will help take me every where I am purposed to be.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Professionally, my current role is a tax auditor. I’ve always been good in business and with numbers, so I obtained a bachelor’s degree in accounting. I enjoy what I do while also looking forward to all that life has in store for me.

Regarding my up and coming social media career. My main influence focuses on Natural Hair! I started my journey on Tik Tok just for fun, but then I began to grow and brands began reaching out for me to promote their products. From there I realized I could really grow my platform and make a difference in the world.

I am most excited to measure how much impact I will have staying consistent and true to myself on this journey.

What sets me apart from others is that I am personable, uplifting, and funny. Not the lame funny either, but the cool funny, lol. I love pouring positivity into others and talking things out. I’m pretty well rounded too- so we can sit and have a meaningful conversation or we can go talk about nothing at a fun party. I’m down for whatever the vibes are.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Well, first and foremost my fiancé is a chef, and anyone who comes to visit me already know this. It would be selfish to not have him cook us something up- so most definitely that would be my number one food option. Major shout out to G’S CAJUN KITCHEN!!!

I also love hibachi spots. A couple of my favorites are Hana & Tokyo Harbor. You also cannot come to Dallas without visiting Deep Ellum and all the spots it has to offer. I love sporting events too- so depending on the season, a Dallas mavericks or cowboys game would be cool! Everything else we do during the week won’t be on the itinerary. We will have to figure it out as we go. I’m a go-with-the-flow type girl so I like to let vibes decide instead of an itinerary, lol!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would most definitely give this shoutout to God, my family & my true friends! They all deserve so much credit for who I am! God has always given me vision and peace in life, while my family and friends are always so supportive and proud of everything that I pursue. They believe in me more than I believe in myself some days. Their genuine love and support keep me going and striving.

Another person I want to shoutout is Sarah Jakes-Robert. She doesn’t even know who I am, but her social media presence has really helped me grow with God from the inside out. She deserves a shoutout for all of the lives she is changing with her spirit.
