Dominique was born and raised in Baltimore and attended the McDonough School. She then graduated from University of Virginia in 1989 and University of Maryland, Baltimore Law School in 1994.

During a semester in law school, Dominique spent time abroad in Cape Town, South Africa working pro bono. It was during this time that she fell in love with South Africa and world travel. After graduating law school, she would make Johannesburg, South Africa her home for a period of time.

She was a fierce advocate for her beloved community and sought redress for social injustices and racial inequities in her home city of Baltimore. She served as a city housing commissioner working to build access and affordable housing for Baltimore residents during a time of rapid city real estate development.

Community service was central to Dominique’s mission in life. She served several philanthropic nonprofit organizations as a vital voice to bring about change. She served on the board of United Way and Journey Home. In addition, she was named to the board of Associated Black Charities, and later became Board Chair.

Everyone who knew her speaks of her brilliance, and her sassy, bold, vibrant and witty spirit. Dominique left nothing unsaid and poured into everyone she called a friend. She exuded joy and positivity in everything she did. Her outlook on life was to live it and give back where possible.

Dominique leaves behind her devoted mother and best friend, her father, brother, aunt, close cousins, and extended family and friends.
