Founder & CEO, Empowering Everyday Women Ministries
About Dianna Hobbs
Dianna Hobbs is a minister, author, and humanitarian who has preached the Gospel since she was eleven years old. She is the founder of Empowering Everyday Women Ministries, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving women, children, and communities in need.
Where It Started
From a kitchen table to readers around the world.
In 2007, Dianna launched EEW Magazine Online from her kitchen table in Delaware, a digital ministry for Christian women of color. It has grown into a faith-based platform that reaches readers around the world, and her story has been featured by PBS, ABC, NBC, The Washington Post, and The Christian Post. Her devotional blog and podcast, Your Daily Cup of Inspiration, bring that same biblical encouragement into everyday life.
Her Testimony
“Turned my pain into purpose.”
In 2017, after years of living with rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia, Dianna was healed during a prayer service. Doctors had run out of answers. She walked, talked, and sang again, and Isaiah 53:5 became her own: “And by His stripes we are healed” (NKJV).
In 2019, a severe reaction after routine surgery put her in the ICU with seizures and a mini-stroke. Doctors warned she might never fully recover. Within days she walked out of the hospital. She still lives with the effects of a traumatic brain injury, and she says God has “turned my pain into purpose.”
Through all of it, Dianna has had her husband, Kenya, and their four children beside her: Kyla, Kaiah, Kedar, and Kaleb.
The Work Today
Serving where the need is greatest.
Through Empowering Everyday Women Ministries, Dianna serves where the need is greatest: Bibles for orphaned children, safe water, dignity kits for women and girls, and meals for struggling families.
American Alliance for Black Mental Wellness
Healing Our Community. Empowering Our Future.
With her husband, Kenya Hobbs, she also co-founded the American Alliance for Black Mental Wellness, which works to make mental health support accessible, compassionate, and stigma-free. Dianna speaks openly about her own brain injury and about her son’s journey with bipolar II disorder and OCD, so that no one in the Black church has to face mental illness in silence.
