Diane Kimbrough: The Woman Behind the Lens https://hypehair.com/diane-kimbrough-the-woman-behind-the-lens/ https://hypehair.com/diane-kimbrough-the-woman-behind-the-lens/#respond Mon, 02 Dec 2024 14:15:00 +0000 https://hypehair.com/?p=7127 Written By: Terrell Everett

In the bustling landscape of film, television, and literature, few names shine as brightly as Diane Kimbrough. A Detroit native with an extraordinary talent for storytelling, Diane’s journey from behind-the-scenes virtuoso to published author exemplifies her relentless pursuit of purpose, passion, and creativity. With an illustrious career spanning iconic productions and groundbreaking roles, she embodies the spirit of transformation—both in her personal journey and the stories she crafts.

Diane’s career began as a Locations Manager. With an innate eye for selecting landscapes that narrate stories of their own, she curated the visual backdrops for productions such as Rickey Smiley For Real, Lodge 49, and the cult classic SuperFly. Yet, it was her work on Preachers of Atlanta that remains her personal favorite—a project that harmonized her love for storytelling with deeply rooted themes of faith and resilience.

Her love for exploration and storytelling naturally led Diane into the dynamic world of production. As a producer, she played a pivotal role in bringing diverse stories to life, spanning genres and platforms. From the family-centered reality of T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle to the entrepreneurial rigor of Shark Tank and the unfiltered drama of Joseline’s Cabaret, Diane’s portfolio is a testament to her versatility and commitment to authentic narratives. Projects like Baddies and College Hill further underscore her ability to capture the pulse of contemporary culture.

Now, as a Development Executive at Zeus Network, Diane continues to break barriers, producing content that challenges conventions and resonates deeply with audiences. Her keen sense of narrative structure and character development ensures that each project she touches leaves a lasting impact.

Infold Image

While Diane has spent years shaping other people’s stories, her debut novel, Finding Her Way, marks a poignant shift. Drawing inspiration from her own journey—from Detroit to Atlanta, and eventually Los Angeles—the novel is a reflection of her courage, growth, and unyielding quest for purpose. It’s a deeply personal story that resonates with anyone navigating the complexities of change and self-discovery.

In Finding Her Way, Diane channels her experiences into prose, offering readers an intimate glimpse into her soul. It’s more than a novel; it’s a roadmap for anyone striving to redefine their path.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Diane is a devoted mother and a self-proclaimed foodie—a detail that adds an endearing layer to her multifaceted persona. Her love for food mirrors her approach to storytelling: rich, diverse, and always seasoned with authenticity.

Whether on set, in the boardroom, or at her writing desk, Diane Kimbrough remains a beacon of inspiration. Her journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, the beauty of storytelling, and the importance of staying true to oneself. As she continues to shape narratives that captivate, educate, and empower, one thing is clear: Diane is not just finding her way—she’s paving the path for others to follow.

DianeKimbrough FindingHerWay 6x9 145 WHITE 4

Hailing from Detroit, how did you make your way into television/film? 

My first introduction to TV and Film was when I lived in Atlanta Georgia. I worked as a Locations manager and I was able to make a lot of connections, but also able to watch certain positions on set to determine what I wanted to do with my career. Working in locations was great for me because it taught me how to provide a space that was conducive for everyone to do their job.

Where do you think your love for storytelling comes from? 

My love for storytelling came from all of my past experiences. I grew up in the inner city of Detroit, where storytelling was a tool we used to share our experiences and learn from each other. That’s the beauty of my industry; we get to tell the stories that we lived, survived ,and thrived from. 

What does it mean to be a black woman in entertainment?

Being a black woman in entertainment comes with its own challenges. We have so many odds against us, but one thing about black women is we are resilient and we find a way to make everything better around us.

Tell me what’s your definition of beauty?  

There’s a combination of qualities that can make you beautiful! I believe beauty is not just about aesthetics, but it is truly about how you treat yourself and others by your generosity and kindness. 

Working on such prolific shows, which proves to be your favorite and why? 

Shark Tank is one of my favorite shows. I met some phenomenal men and women who had some of the best inventions and ideas but needed the capital in order to keep their business alive. I have a great appreciation for these entrepreneurs that literally spent their last to take a chance on themselves! 

You wrote a novel, can you tell us about it and what inspired you? 

In 2020 I decided to write a script; I wanted to tell a story that I would one day want to watch on TV/Film. Around the pandemic I believe we were all trying to find our way to our next aspiration. My book was literally birthed out of trying to find my way. “Finding her way” is about a woman who left everything behind to find a better life!  

Who is Diane behind the lens? 

What a great question! I’m a woman who loves to travel and enjoy life to the fullest. Traveling and fine dining has always been on the top of my list of living! I believe my greatest accomplishment was raising my son. I really strive to be the best mom I could possibly be. 

Can you share what’s the next story you wish to share, be it film, television, or maybe another novel? 

I am a hopelessly romantic person. I hope to one day have a hit series or a film, showing how black women are supported and loved unconditionally by her man. 

Being a black woman and executive nonetheless, what example would you like other women to take from you?

I would like other women to know that your journey is your own, do not compare your life to others. It took me over 10 years to get to the level that I am today. Every job I took in production made me into the woman that I am today! I am currently the Head of Development at the Zeus Network. It is literally a dream come true

What does hype hair mean to you? What’s your favorite Hype Hair memory?

I can recall the days waiting on my stylist and picking up a Hype Hair magazine to find my next hairstyle . I would’ve never believed in a million years that I would be a part of something that’s been in our culture since the 90s this opportunity means the world to me because I’m all about Black culture! My favorite hype hair memory is when Aaliyah graced the cover back in the 90s, that was huge for us Detroit girls. I know for sure I started wearing my hair over my eye because of her!

Streaming on Amazon Prime UK/US, Apple TV, Tubi, and Roku, the show has garnered industry recognition, including Daytime Emmy nominations and multiple accolades for outstanding directing and casting.

Juanita’s impact extends beyond entertainment. She is a staunch advocate for women’s empowerment, serving as Founder and Board President of Dress for Success Greater London and Chattanooga.

Meet Faith Broussard Cade – Mental Health Counselor, Author, Humanitarian and Creator of Fleur De Lis Speaks https://hypehair.com/meet-faith-broussard-cade-a-survivor-shining-bright-against-adversity/ https://hypehair.com/meet-faith-broussard-cade-a-survivor-shining-bright-against-adversity/#respond Fri, 04 Oct 2024 23:51:00 +0000 https://hypehair.com/?p=6773 Interviewed by Charron Monaye

Faith Broussard Cade has over 10 years of experience as a professional school counselor and mental health counselor and also worked as a baker and a food blogger, before shifting to writing inspirational affirmations on pieces of handmade paper through her extremely popular Instagram handle, Fleur De Lis Speaks (@fleurdelisspeaks). I had the pleasure of interviewing Faith about her most recent book release. Enjoy our interview below.

Shine Bright Anyway centers around acknowledging personal wounds and embracing healing. Can you share what inspired you to write this book and how your own healing journey shaped it?

On January 9, 2018, I was hit from behind in a motor vehicle accident on my way to work that morning, and I sustained a concussion, and a traumatic brain injury, conditions that continue to challenge me on a daily basis. Shortly after the accident, I began to struggle with migraines, sensitivity to light and sound, chronic physical pain, insomnia, sensory issues, and distractibility. I was unable to return to my career of school counseling that I had been in for over 10 years and was forced to resign. I felt broken and lost, confused as to how I was going to continue my career as a helper, since that was how I had always defined myself. What was I going to do without the occupation that I felt gave me purpose in life?

For years, I struggled with chronic pain and headaches, memory loss, difficulty concentrating, 4-5 day stretches of chronic insomnia, and unshakeable anxiety. The amount of stress I was under felt unfair and oftentimes, unbearable. I struggled to maintain a sense of normalcy for my family: to be the wife and mother I’d always been while also prioritizing my own recovery. My entire world had shifted in a split second and I felt like I couldn’t regain a sense of control, no matter how hard I tried.

I knew I had to find a way to prioritize my mental health in the midst of tragedy. I had to figure something out. My life was falling apart at warp speed and I had no clue how to even begin to pull myself back together. And without realizing that I’d be learning a lesson about anything, I set out to adjust just a little: how I saw myself, how I loved myself, and how I took care of myself. So I set out to do one thing for myself every day: to honor and nourish myself by writing a self- care note. A positive affirmation. A note of care to encourage myself no matter what that day would bring. It would only take 5 minutes tops. Just one little note- and I’d post it on Instagram for accountability. My intention was to write them for 15 days, and here I am,  almost 7 years later, still writing those notes, not just for me, but for hundreds of thousands of others around the world.

The book contains 90 messages of encouragement. How did you select these specific themes, and what impact do you hope they will have on readers facing their own struggles?

I don’t intentionally select themes or even the words I write in my affirmations. Since the day I began writing them, I have called them my “Divine downloads.” They are dropped into my spirit and I feel that it is my personal responsibility to share them with the world.

I’ve been able to turn my pain into purpose and I want more than anything to help others see that they have everything they need inside of them to do the same.  I want to reach as many people as possible with the idea that caring and compassion can help bring light to even the darkest spaces and seasons of our lives.

Many people feel pressure to “do more, want more, and be more.” How does your book address these societal expectations, and what advice do you give to readers who feel they are not enough?

Shine Bright Anyway encompasses a few essential truths:

You’re not alone,

We’re all struggling with something,

Everyone else doesn’t have it all together either,

It’s okay to feel like you’re not okay sometimes,

Be intentional about finding bits of joy where you can in your daily life.

Most of us are overworked, overwhelmed, and over- committed and we use our productivity as a measure of our overall worth. We’re addicted to performing, not only for others, but also for ourselves.

But we’ve got to learn to extend grace to ourselves and others and allow ourselves to be less than perfect. Less than “on point” all the time. We have to acknowledge that no amount of pressure we place on ourselves can make us superhuman or extend our capacity to produce when our minds, bodies, and souls are empty. We do not have to run ourselves into the ground to prove that we are committed to our families, our jobs, or the larger world around us. Our “best” is not what we’ve given once we find ourselves depleted and burnt out. But our best is what we’re able to give and still maintain an acceptable standard of care and concern for ourselves. Then and only then are we able to give from our overflow, rather than our deficit. Then and only then, are we able to show up in the world as our truest, most authentic selves.

One of the key messages in Shine Bright Anyway is about replacing feelings of inadequacy with the truth of your worthiness. What strategies do you suggest to help people recognize their inherent value?

  • Choose to be the author of your own story and stop handing the pen off to other people. Refuse to accept the narrative that is assumed about you. Give yourself some credit. You’ve beaten the odds AND you are an exceptional human being. You are winning. And that is worth celebrating!
  • Address your Inner Critic and Imposter Syndrome. Most of us downplay our accomplishments and minimize our potential so that it will hurt less when someone else does it. That is a trauma response, not a coping skill. So, let’s stop doing that. You can be humble without playing small.
  • Don’t allow what people think or say determine how you feel about yourself or what you believe you are capable of.
  • Refuse to take on what someone else’s idea of success is for you.
  • Create personal affirmations that are in alignment with who you are, what you believe, and how you want to live your life.
  • Incorporate your affirmations into your daily life.
  • Use visuals. Write your positive affirmations down and put them somewhere that will allow you to look at them often. You can use post-its, the background on your smartphone, notes on your refrigerator, car dashboard, bathroom mirror, etc. Put them anywhere and everywhere that will help you see them, say them out loud, and put them in your mind. Consume content that supports your affirmations.
  • Attach positive emotions to the affirmation as a way to allow yourself to think about how good it feels to fulfill this affirmation.

How has practicing gratitude and self-care impacted your recovery and emotional well-being, and how can readers apply these lessons in their own lives?

One of the biggest challenges for me on my self- care journey was letting go of the unnecessary. I had to accept that the key to making space for myself and my needs is LESS. And before y’all take this, run with it and misquote me, let me be absolutely clear:

  • I am not telling you to quit your job.
  • I am not telling you to stop cooking and feeding your kids, although I may consider it on a daily basis.
  • I am not telling you to stop volunteering at the homeless shelter.
  • I am not telling you to stop doing laundry.
  • I am not telling you to flake out and not show up to your best friend’s birthday dinner.
  • I am not telling you to give up on your side hustle or your blog.
  • I am not telling you to throw caution to the wind and abandon your responsibilities.

What I am saying is that we cannot be fully present and immerse ourselves in gratitude if we are not engaged. When was the last time you felt fully present and engaged in the moment without anticipating what’s coming next?

So if you find yourself feeling completely detached from your daily activities and unable to experience genuine fulfillment, you may need to reduce the amount of time you spend doing things that do not bring you joy and be intentional about adding more of what you love to your life. Some things are non- negotiables. Others are not. You don’t have to have something on your calendar to be unavailable. Rest is a perfectly good reason. No is a complete sentence. No explanation necessary. Tell folks you are busy, even if you are busy resting. The time you spend doing things you enjoy is not wasted. It is an investment into your overall well-being and you have to believe that the investment is worth it. You have to believe that you are your best self when your tank is full. You have to decide that you want to give to others from your overflow, not your deficit. Giving from your deficit ultimately puts you at a disadvantage, draining you of the energy you were given to go out and change the world while fulfilling your purpose.

What message would you like readers to take away from Shine Bright Anyway, especially those dealing with past trauma or emotional vulnerability?

You are  enough. You are not the trauma you’ve experienced. What happened to you is not who you are. Resist the temptation to pick yourself apart. Reject the world’s narrative that you need to be “fixed.” You are not broken. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Celebrating National Afro Day: Embracing the Fro and Rethinking Beauty Norms https://hypehair.com/celebrating-national-afro-day-embracing-the-fro-and-rethinking-beauty-norms/ https://hypehair.com/celebrating-national-afro-day-embracing-the-fro-and-rethinking-beauty-norms/#respond Mon, 16 Sep 2024 23:11:39 +0000 https://hypehair.com/?p=6461 Yesterday, September 15th, was a day of vibrant celebration as we honored National Afro Day—a time dedicated to appreciating and embracing the iconic afro hairstyle and the cultural identity it represents. But this celebration isn’t just about rocking a fro for one day; it’s about recognizing the powerful history behind this hairstyle and reflecting on the broader beauty standards it challenges.The afro, that majestic hairstyle with its halo-like volume, has seen a fascinating evolution. Once a symbol of resistance against Eurocentric beauty ideals, it now stands as a powerful emblem of self-love and cultural pride. In the 1960s and 70s, the afro was a bold statement during the “Black is Beautiful” movement, with influential figures like Angela Davis and the Jackson 5 flaunting their fros as symbols of liberation. Fast forward to the 90s, and the natural hair movement revived the afro, with celebrities like Lauryn Hill and Prince bringing it back into the limelight with new flair.But let’s dig a little deeper. Even as we celebrate the afro’s resurgence and its role in redefining black beauty, it’s worth asking: Why does the afro—or any natural hairstyle—still seem like a rebellious statement rather than just another part of everyday beauty? Despite the strides we’ve made, natural hair often faces prejudice, being deemed unconventional or unprofessional in various settings.National Afro Day invites us to go beyond mere admiration and question why the afro still carries a sense of resistance in our increasingly diverse world. It’s a chance to reflect on how we can push for a future where every hairstyle is celebrated without hesitation—a future where beauty norms truly embrace all textures and styles.So, how can we make the most of National Afro Day? Dive into the rich history of the afro and its cultural significance. Explore iconic images of Diana Ross and Solange Knowles showcasing their fros, or listen to tracks like “Afro Puffs” by the Lady of Rage. Share your thoughts and experiences on social media with #WorldAfroDay and engage in conversations that challenge traditional beauty standards.Just like Black History Month, celebrating natural beauty and the afro should be an ongoing endeavor. Join me, your favorite Country Cutie Rainy Cates, as we continue to honor and elevate the afro. Let’s work towards a world where every curl, coil, and texture is recognized as beautiful and normal, not just for one day, but all year long. Stay tuned for more insights and conversations that celebrate and uplift natural beauty! ]]> https://hypehair.com/celebrating-national-afro-day-embracing-the-fro-and-rethinking-beauty-norms/feed/ 0 6461
