Meet the Founder

Hi there! I’m LaShawn Dobbs, the heart behind Divine Purpose Publishing House (DPPH). DPPH wasn’t just an idea—it was a divine calling that began in 2013 when I had a life-changing encounter with God. What started as Divine Purpose Publishing (DPP) has since evolved into Divine Purpose Publishing House (DPPH)—a place where stories find their home, voices are amplified, and messages are shared with purpose.

My journey in publishing began with my own story—one of healing, transformation, and stepping into purpose. That experience opened my eyes to the challenges authors face—navigating the publishing process, finding trusted professionals, and ensuring their stories are told with excellence. I quickly realized that authors, storytellers, and thought leaders deserve expert guidance without sacrificing ownership, control, or quality, and that’s exactly why DPPH exists.

I bring a relational, heart-centered approach to everything we do. Publishing is more than just books—it’s about sharing messages that impact lives. Whether through books, podcasts, speaking platforms, or other forms of storytelling, my mission is to help people bring their message to the world with confidence and clarity.

Beyond publishing, I have a deep passion for helping others walk in their divine purpose, which extends to my work as a Certified Life Coach, Mental Health Coach, and Speaker. If you’re looking for business coaching, branding support, or personal development coaching, you can find those services on LaShawnDobbs.com, where I help individuals step boldly into their destiny.

When I’m not walking alongside storytellers, you’ll find me spending time with my family—my husband, children, grandchildren, and our sweet grand dog, Grace. I also love journaling, sipping coffee, and reflecting on the beauty of life’s journey.
