Our Mission

Welcome to the ConservaTruth Association, where we are dedicated to upholding and safeguarding South Carolina conservative values in the realm of State and Local politics and governance.

Together, as an Association, we stand united to protect the core conservative principles that shape our nation’s future and educate our members on current legislation that will impact the conservative values within our State and Local communities.

Now known as Realty ONE Group Coastal, Diana located her first office in Summerville. In only a few short years, Realty ONE Group Coastal has gone from Diana and her dream to three offices buzzing with more than 200 agents, plus support staff, property management, and HOA management.

Realty ONE Group is known for being a dynamic, full-service lifestyle real estate brand and franchise model, dedicated to empowering and advancing tomorrow’s real estate professionals today.

She currently is involved in the fight against child sex trafficking locally, nationally, and internationally. This gives Diana the opportunity to be a voice for children. She has always taught her three children to give back to their community.

Diana got involved in local politics in 2020. She helped organize a group to attend school board meetings in an effort to have masks removed from our children. That same group helped change the leadership of the Dorchester GOP by just a few votes.
