Diane Lebson
1.If you were famous what would your stage name be?
This is my first pageant. I am competing because I feel that, as a first generation American who has worked in philanthropy for 15 years and is pursuing a PhD, I could communicate the diverse roles women play and, simultaneously, advance the importance of individual impacts on philanthropic causes.
2.If you would attend a celebrity wedding which, would it be?
I am a secret geek. Professionally, I am an extrovert, but personally nothing beats a night at home with my husband. I have been steadily checking off books from 1,000 Books You Must Read Before You Die. I also love academia and enjoy a good conversation on social entrepreneurship.
3.What is the weirdest gift you’ve ever received?
I am a certified yoga instructor and have been studying belly dance for two years. I am also a runner and have been training for my first Army 10-Miler. That should be fun, because it starts and finishes where my husband works – the Pentagon.
4.What is the most random fact you know?
When you and your husband agree on the definition of right and wrong - not necessarily political decisions, but moral ones. We support local philanthropies and our soldiers – for the same reason, because there is a right and a wrong in this world and we want to see right win.
5.What is the one thing you’ll never do again?
Chocolate! I have an insatiable sweet tooth and treat myself to one piece of chocolate per day. I have transitioned to dark chocolate because the high levels of antioxidants make it a heart-healthy food, right?
