Meet Dymond Green: Journalist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Dymond Green and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dymond, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I was struggling with finding plant-based, hand-made feminine care products on the market so I made my own. Then I thought, why don’t I offer these products to other women? The potential to simultaneously help other women, have social impact and gain financial freedom was enticing.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m currently a journalist in digital media. I went to journalism school for undergrad and actually didn’t have a job right out of school. My school taught us technical skills, but didn’t really prepare us for the job market. It took a lot of networking, traveling, pro bono work, couch surfing, and prayer to get to where I am today. It wasn’t easy but I knew it would be worth it. Concerned family and friends tried to convince me to just get a government job because the benefits are great. Looking back, I’m glad I persevered and followed my dreams.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I literally just got here so I don’t know much. But I would take a friend to the beach, El Tejano for tacos and tequila, and to a drive-in movie.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’d like to thank my family and friends, as well as NABJ for their continued support.
