Diane's Story

Diane plays a critical role at My Cup of Tea. Besides interviewing applicants, she teaches the employment curriculum.

“When they come in broken, I share that I’ve been broken too.”

Diane wanted to be a nurse, but she married young and grappled with a drug addiction. After fighting through recovery and leaning on God to get her through, she shares her story with other women facing similar challenges.

“I’ve learned to blossom, embrace life, and trust in God,” she says. “I used to never like to smile, and now I smile all the time.”

Diane left My Cup of Tea for over two years to take care of two brothers battling serious health conditions. She recently returned and was welcomed back with open arms.

"The main reason I stay at My Cup of Tea is because I love the sisterhood – encouraging one another, helping one another. I can’t think of a better place than My Cup of Tea to do that.”
