Dorothy ‘The Reality Coach’, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
How I started was through heartache. In 2017 I had a son murdered and need his obituary done. After trying tirelessly to get it done to my specifications unsuccessfully; I got fed up and decided to give it a try. Upon doing so I discovered I was pretty good at it. I stopped for a while until tragedy struck again.
This time it was my only living child. He on the news being labeled “The Dallas Uptown Serial Rapist.”
I thought my God how can this be happening?
I immediately went to Canva and started a Social Justice Advocacy Campaign using Canva to make flyers, posters and/or any campaign item needed.
Although, this is still an ongoing fight DNA EXCLUDES him and the City of Dallas has yet to comply.
I am now one of the leading Social Justice Advocates in the Dallas Area.
In conjunction with several other advocacy and activist organizations Canva is our go to app for all our graphic needs.
Canva has made spreading our messages/s in advocacy the best!!!
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
I am a Sunday Night Gospel Radio host who built a listening audience on truth!!! Once you tell your truth NEVER allow anyone to have control of your truth.
By using Canva to create flyers that depict my truth people were impressed by my transparency.
As “The Reality Coach,” I am asked to host and speak all over the the Dallas Area, have host many city events, panelists and moderator for the NFL 2020 Superbowl Mental Health Forum, City of Mesquite Tri-East NAACP program Emcee, featured on the cover of several magazines as most influential woman and superb woman of the week for Texas Metro News…
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
Yes, equality in justice as well as immense desire to see people be in spirit and truth without preconceived notions.
