Who is Diane Canada?
Diane Canada is a national TV commentator, podcast host, speaker, and author of the Lady Up America book series, with her third book Lady Up in These Last Days releasing in Spring 2026. She's a frequent panelist on Newsmax, News Nation, Scripps News, and Fox News, where she provides conservative Christian commentary on cultural and political issues.
After losing her brother to the mental scars of war from his service in Afghanistan, Diane ran for Tennessee State House in 2020. Though she didn't win, finishing at 46% against a well-funded incumbent with only 10% of his campaign budget, that race became a stepping stone to her current mission: training Christian women for cultural leadership.
Diane's career spans decades as a business consultant helping women-owned companies in crisis, a professional songwriter who hosted a syndicated TV show reaching 100 million households called Songs That Heal, and an entrepreneurship instructor in women's prisons for four years. She's appeared in battleground states training thousands of women through her workshops on how to attract people to biblical worldviews and influence culture without confrontation.
Her mission is this: healing America through Jesus Christ by equipping Christian women to reclaim culture, lead with faith, and build movements rooted in biblical principles rather than political outrage or feminist ideology.
