Meku:!
I’m Dominique
Daye Hunter.
I’m an Author, Storyteller, Artist,
Healing Justice Consultant,
and Cultural Strategist.
As an Afro-Indigenous queer, disabled, neurodivergent woman, I help Black, Indigenous, disabled, and queer folks connect with their roots and reclaim their voice after generations of being silenced, erased, and misrepresented so they can heal, lead, and thrive powerfully with purpose across generations.
As a Certified DEI Specialist, I help impact-driven organizations align their actions with their values by understanding the intersections of Black and Indigenous experiences to
build trust, reduce harm, and drive inclusive and equitable outcomes around social and environmental justice.
Guided by mindfulness,
lived experience,
and trauma-and-healing-informed practice, I create safe, brave spaces where breath, ancestral wisdom, and resilience are woven into every collaboration.
A red-dirt path lined by cedar trees evokes calm, ancestral grounding, and direction.
Shining my light, but not afraid of the dark.
