Dianna Donahue, Editor-in-Chief

Picture
​Dianna Donahue is the founder and Editor-In-Chief of URBANE Magazine, central Arkansas' leading Black lifestyle publication. She attended the University of Arkansas at Little Rock where she studied Education with an emphasis in English. She received her bachelors in 2014 and her masters in 2020.

She is a Little Rock native that had a dream to create a platform that would support and empower Black Arkansans. Motivated by her compassion for her race, Dianna used her education to create a mockup of URBANE Magazine in 2012. This publication utilizes images and stories to convey the fullness of beauty within Black communities. With URBANE, Dianna contributes to the preservation of integrity and the enrichment of Black culture in the state of Arkansas.

URBANE was officially established on February 1st, 2015 – coincidently, on the first day of Black History Month. To honor the significance of this date, Dianna launched URBANE Magazine to the public on February 1st, 2021.

Just a few people that help URBANE grow...
