Cancer the Great Revealer
Manage episode 447310227 series 3460403
Diane Gilman was an American clothing designer and shopping channel television personality on HSN, where she is known as the "Jean Queen". She built a $150 million jeans empire. She began specializing in jeans after noticing the denim industry's void in catering to baby boomer women like herself.
In 2013, Diane authored a book called Good Jeans: 10 Simple Truths about Feeling Great, Staying Sexy, & Aging Agelessly. While her book is largely biographical in nature, she uses her story to encourage and inspire women to go after their dreams and regain a greater sense of self-entitlement that may have been withered by societal expectations and pressures placed upon women past a certain age.
In 2017 she was told she had Stage Three Breast Cancer.
Diane Gilman "Cancer is a great leveler and a great revealer. Cancer doesn’t care if you’re wealthy, cancer doesn’t care if you’re beautiful, cancer doesn’t care if you live in a penthouse on Fifth Avenue. And by the time I came out of my stage three diagnosis, I saw life differently—and I became much more grateful for it.
