Chapter 594 - 592: AMBASSADOR 7
"I will answer your questions randomly since most of them intertwine," with a slight nod she said, her gaze on everyone in the room before continuing, "and to start this answering session, I would like to offer my sincere gratitude towards the foundation for choosing me to become their ambassador."
"As someone who started this online thing on a whim and just wanted to share my life, spread some happiness and help as much as I could in my way. This is truly ... it’s awesome and I can’t help but say thank you for finding me," she said sincerely as she looked at Manager Babin.
She meant it, honestly. Never in a million years did she think of representing her foundation. The other companies, she planned to once they were good enough, but the foundation; she didn’t dare be reckless.
That was her livelihood and the sole reason why she is who she is right now. With her character and hot temper, which tend to make her burst unexpectedly at times, it didn’t seem to fit with the foundation at all.
And yet, among all the popular people that they could find, they just had to pick her. If that wasn’t grace, favor and honor, what else could it be?
She might be the founder, but being an ambassador meant something completely different, and that made it special.
"As you all might know, I haven’t taken on any job except that one for the music show where I barely did anything. Anyway, I will consider this my first job and one that must be taken seriously.
So, for those who asked how I feel about the whole thing. I can only say I am exhilarated. This isn’t just for me but for all the JEWELS and passersby who support me in every way that they can.
Without them, I wouldn’t be known and be here. So, this goes to them. For them and their sake, as well as many people that would benefit from the help provided by this foundation, I will do my utmost to present the organization as much as I can."
[That’s our girl.]
[She didn’t forget us.]
[I can hear a hint of promise there.]
[I hear it as well. I guess we don’t have to worry much, this time.]
[I will sigh with relief once the whole conference is done. Who knows what might happen in the middle?]
"Some asked why I accepted this ambassadorship when I hadn’t taken any other jobs before. Some are even curious whether I found those jobs unworthy or something. But I can assure you that I won’t look down on a business that someone has spent too much effort in doing.
The reason I accepted the ambassadorship this time was because it aligned perfectly with what I stand for and what I like.
Some might see me as flashy and love showing off. After all, I have grown quite a reputation, hehe," she chuckled helplessly as she thought of what some haters had called her online.
"I can’t blame it when I have money and I want to share it with others. Just because I love giving it to those who follow me doesn’t make me flashy or showy. We just share a different approach to giving.
Being approached by such a wonderful organization like this one. Of course, I can only accept. Besides, everything with diamonds in it, I like it. So why should I turn it down?"
When the viewers heard that, they couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.
Surely, her reasoning was different: it made people choke.
The Perry family and a few people who knew that she was the owner watched as Diamond shamelessly talked nonsense, separating herself from the foundation as if they were two.
Diamond answered a few more questions before she gave the platform back to the reporters, who were eager once again to ask.
"So, do you have a goal or vision now that you are the ambassador of the foundation?"
Faced with such a question, a smile brightened on her face as she looked at the man who had asked.
"How can I not? In fact, I can say that I have always had this vision for several years. As you might know, I exposed it earlier this year regarding my dating past. During the time that I was suffering and experiencing the cruel reality of society, I looked deep into myself.
Knowing one’s wrongs and being able to correct them is the right choice. I understood that I had taken the wrong path in my school days. I did something unforgivable, and I was very disgusted by myself back then.
I felt sorry for my family for letting them down. I didn’t have any face to face them with during that time, so I hid and became introverted. I kept to myself and it was through giving that kept me going.
By giving a portion of the small money that I earned, I found some peace. And thanks to that peace, I persevered until I finally made it. If I didn’t come across with something called giving and showing kindness, I don’t know what I would be right now."
Recalling the past, she couldn’t help but feel melancholic.
Back then, when she was still working for others, suffering from a skin rash which required a lot of money to be treated and earning a measly income, she learnt to be kind.
She learnt to not be selfish and to give to others. Although she had never shown off about her achievements, the thought of having a few kids smile just because they ate or wore clothes because of the money that she donated. It gave her a sense of belonging.
Even until now, she had been silently donating to that orphanage. She just hoped that the kids would grow up well despite lacking familial love.
"When I made it and got my hands on money, I knew right away that I needed to do something and return something back to society. So, I can confidently say that openly and behind the scenes, I have been doing my best to help as much as I can," she said seriously while giving a glance at Manager Babin, who was nodding her head in agreement.
After all, the foundation was hers, and every month a lot of money was pouring into the foundation’s accounts from her personal account. Wasn’t that donating behind the scenes?
What she does on her platforms is give openly.
"With all that bared in the open, I can say that my goal or vision still remains. To continuously spread this love and happiness in whatever way that I can by using what I have.
Be it talent or money. As long as I have it, I will strive to help as much as I can and with me being the ambassador of DIAMOND of HOPE foundation. I hope that I would be able to reach more people out there, that way they could have a heart to help.
It doesn’t need to be a lot of money. Even that pair of old clothes that you no longer need. Someone out there lacks it. By taking it out and giving it to someone, you can put a smile on that person’s face," she answered, bringing an end to the question.
