Dawn's Blog: A place for Open Minds, Revolutionary Thinking, and Real Talk, all B.S. aside. It's time to be a Voice, not an Echo. You must Speak your Truth even if your voice shakes…
Let’s be honest. Most of us learned something about government back in the day… and then life happened. Now we’re out here hearing about City Council, Board of Supervisors, OUSD, commissions, budgets—and it all starts to sound like a whole lot of meetings that don’t have anything to do with us. But here’s the truth: …
Let’s just go ahead and say it: The political climate right now?Outrageous. Stressful. Unpredictable. A lot. Rights are being debated like they’re optional.Policies are shifting like someone’s changing outfits.And entire communities are out here just trying to exist without being targeted. So naturally, people are asking: “How do I even begin to be revolutionary in …

Let’s be honest: trying to keep up with politics right now can feel like emotional CrossFit. Every headline is urgent, every social media thread is a debate stage, and somewhere between breakfast and lunch you’ve read three things that make you want to scream into a pillow.

There is one thing that continues to genuinely confuse, frustrate, and low-key break my heart: how much time we, as women, can spend critiquing each other… when we could be hyping each other up instead.

Why Representation Matters (Yes, Even When We’re Tired 😅) Let’s start with the obvious: representation isn’t about checking a diversity box or adding a cute rainbow to the flyer. It’s about survival. It’s about visibility. It’s about walking into a room and not feeling like you accidentally RSVP’d to the wrong century. Representation for Black …

I don't want to give this ignorant individual more time, energy, and attention than he obviously wants, but I would be remiss if I didn't use my platform and voice to speak out about the offensive, racist and dangerous rhetoric that this person has been spewing. This JW Lucas who I have just now heard …
Here we are, at that time of the year when we have to start having the dialogue about why it's important that we all get out and take advantage of the right which many of our ancestors fought and died for... The Right to Vote. Of course I'm not suggesting that you go out and vote …
Who would have thought this is the kind of 2020 we would be experiencing? Most of us were so ready to be done with 2019 that we had no idea what we were in for. I suppose we should've been careful with what we wished for! The Universe definitely gave no signs to point to …
