Diane Black

"In [nursing] school, we are trained right from the very beginning that we always go back and look at the root cause. I’ve used that methodology in my policymaking. I look at a problem and look at the root cause."

"I firmly believe now what I believed then. As elected officials, we are public servants and must be held to the highest of standards."

"If I had known that, oh my gosh, I would have jumped right on that and said that is wrong and we cannot do that,” Black said in 2017."

"Black pointed to her own experiences with sexual harassment in the “Good Ol’ Boy culture” of the Tennessee legislature and described an uncomfortable moment with a colleague in 1998. She joined others in Congress advocating for transparency when elected officials are involved in harassment cases."

"With her extensive experience in public service, Black continues to make significant contributions outside the political arena."

"Following her tenure in Congress, Diane Black embarked on a new journey filled with exploration and growth. She recognized the value of leveraging her vast knowledge and expertise to make a positive impact beyond the political realm. Black’s transition has allowed her to explore new ventures that align with her passion for public service and dedication to improving the lives of others."

"Black’s dedication to community involvement is evident through her philanthropic endeavors. By supporting various charitable organizations and community initiatives, she strives to make a positive and lasting impact on the lives of individuals in need. Through her leadership and collaborative spirit, she encourages others to join her in making a difference."

"Black’s current ventures are fueled by a conviction that change, no matter how incremental, has the power to transform lives and empower communities. Her unwavering commitment to creating a better future serves as an inspiration to many who strive to make a positive impact on the world around them."
