Dona is...the Director of Tech for Microsoft Accessibility. A woman of color tech leader. A multi-published author (it turns out fiction writing is really useful in software!). The owner of the ethical luxury fashion brand Prima Dona Studios. Dyslexic but Dealing. Fast Company’s 100 Most Productive People and Cosmopolitan magazine's Businessperson of the Year. A teacher of hating Mondays less through the power of "intrapreneruship" in corporations. Always ready to get on a plane.
When corporate types hate Mondays a little less
Future tech and Web 3.0 concepts like the Metaverse
Inclusive Product Development especially in the tech industry
Ethical luxury fashion
In 2002, I started my first tech job at a Large Company You Have Heard Of. I also started writing fiction for Young Adults on the side as a creative outlet, leading to getting published by Penguin Random House. I then took control on my publishing career and wrote and published 4 books for young professionals.
In 2012, I enrolled in part-time fashion school at night to combat day-job burnout, which lead to be starting my own fashion line, Prima Dona Studios.
In 2022, I launched my consulting career to help corporate types hate Monday's less.
And yes, I still have my day job.
It is a 100% possible for your day job and your dream life to co-exist.
I failed my first Computer Science class and now lead Accessibility Tech for all of Microsoft.
I dropped out of college English but am now a published author of 8 books.
I stabbed myself repeatedly by accident during fashion school, but am now the founder of Prima Dona Studios, a fashion line that serves thousands of customers in 13 countries that has been featured on CBS News.
Doing the thing AGAIN after epic failure is the secret to Overnight Success
