The East Bay is home to Dominique. She attended Castlemont High School before co-founding and graduating from the School of Social Justice & Community Development. Dominique earned a B.A. in Sociology from Tougaloo College in Jackson, Mississippi. On moving back, she saw how the housing crisis had impacted her community. Dominique became homeless while working full-time. Together with several other black mothers, she co-founded Moms4Housing to bring attention to the shocking number of homeless families, while hundreds of corporate-owned homes lay empty. They started a movement to claim those homes for the community.

Dominique is currently taking her prerequisites for medical school at Berkeley City College. She works with Deep Medicine Circle, an organization healing the wounds of colonialism through food, medicine, story, restoration, and learning. At Deep Medicine Circle, Dominique is the Food is Medicine Survey Coordinator and Political Educator. She also serves as a Commissioner for the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board; while organizing with Moms4Housing through their advocacy, service, and policy to make housing a human right.
