Bio

Diana Gaitirira is truly a well-rounded Haitian-American woman. From SAG-AFTRA, actress, Model, Producer, and Voice-Over Talent, she is proving that you can have it all. Graduating from Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. with a B.A in Deaf Studies, an A.S. in Sign Language Interpreting, along with being a full-time Certified Sign Language Interpreter, Diana’s educational studies have led her to travel as far as Kenya, Africa to interact with Deaf students and make a difference.

​

Yet, her fascination with the entertainment and fashion industry comes as no surprise. Coupling her professional career with pushing the envelope to being recognized in the ever-changing industry of fashion and entertainment, Diana landed a position as an interpreter for the Red Carpet Celebration of the Latinos in the Media Awards. It was in her spare time that she perfected her craft, studying acting, runway modeling and voice-over training, which afforded her significant opportunities in all three arenas. She has modeled in prestigious runway shows such as Full Figured Fashion Week (FFFWeek), Tropical Divas At Sea, and Steve Harvey's Hoodie Awards and modeled for innovative plus retailers to include Lane Bryant, Sonsi, Youtheary Khmer, Jill Alexander, and Big Luv Denim.​



Diana has been featured in national and international magazine publications such as: Nu Woman Magazine, based in Bahamas; Haitienne Magazine, based in New York City; Rags 'N' Riches Magazine, based in Atlanta, along with Gorilla21 Magazine, which is based in London. In 2010, Diana won the title as Ms. Tropical Diva.  Diana is currently the co-owner/producer for an indie production company called Cheza Jouer Films, LLC.
