Dominique Marie Brown is a dedicated educator and holistic practitioner, specializing in the wellbeing of women in the African diaspora. In her journey of grief and healing after the loss of her mother, she found a need for spaces that centered Black women’s wellbeing and wholeness, which inspired her work. With a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership from Miami University, Dominique develops anti-oppression curriculums, facilitates critical dialogues, and creates spaces that prioritize women of color.
Currently serving as the Director of Participatory Research + Community Wellbeing at Design Impact (DI), she is deeply committed to promoting womanist healing practices for and with Black women. Her expertise spans somatic movement, meditation, and contemplative practices, collaborating with various healing practitioners to address racialized trauma. Dominique is also a published academic, writer, traveler, and ardent supporter of grassroots community organizing. Her research interests encompass Cultural Studies, Contemplative Education, Critical Pedagogy, African Diaspora, Womanist Spirituality, Intersectional Feminism, and Decolonial Feminism.
