In this episode of the A Lawful Truth Podcast, Diane Mapp shares her journey of resilience and transformation, recounting an early life marked by multiple losses of life, homelessness, teenage marriage and pregnancy, domestic violence, and a toxic relationship with food. The discussion explores how the weight of trauma led to morbid obesity; Diane’s transformational journey from teenage motherhood to generational pattern breaking; and the power of community support in her becoming. Diane emphasizes the need for young people, especially, to speak up about their struggles and highlights the significance of empathy and understanding in empowering those in need. Her goal? To teach others how to “be who you needed.”

Today Diane serves as the Founder and Executive Director of Note2Queen Inc., a nonprofit organization rooted in therapeutic arts education, mental health awareness, and trauma-informed community care. Learn more here: www.note2queen.com
