The editor-in-chief and chief strategist of Go magazine, Diane was the first female CEO in the 55-year history of the largest LGBTQ+ media company in the U.S. (managing 5 magazines, 6 websites, 4 annual events, and 18 social media brands) and the first Native American as well (I’m Zuni/Choctaw, raised urban by Cherokee stepparent). A longtime journalist, author, sought-after public speaker (for corporations and non-profits), consultant, and writer (who specialized in travel, LGBTQ+ issues, diversity & inclusion, celebrity/entertainment, crime, and disability), Diane is now using her storytelling skills in a new way to those who want to travel and find out the unexpected and unforgotten about places near and far. A 5th generation Idahoan, Diane divides her time between the Northwest and California, where she has had a home for many decades. She partners on tour and off with her husband. of 32 years, transgender journalist, Out Traveler editor-in-chief, and fledgling travel guide Jacob Anderson-Minshall. (She’s a lot more fun than this sounds though, so if you want stories about snorkeling with sharks in San Diego, 4-wheeling across Aruba’s desert terrain, or dancing on tabletops in Tijuana, just say the word.)
