Dawn Downey writes personal essays about love and pain. She is the author of Blindsided, Searching for My Heart, From Dawn to Daylight, and Stumbling Toward the Buddha. Her publishing career began in 2007, with an article in The Christian Science Monitor. She begins her day with yoga, followed by meditation. Easily distracted, she deploys an app that blocks the internet from her computer during writing sessions. (She cheats by checking her phone.)
Downey lives in Kansas City, Missouri.
How does a black woman maintain her sense of self, when most of her friends are white? In public spaces and private, Dawn Downey is under attack by an onslaught of microaggressions. She struggles to find balance between personal relationships and personal integrity. In the process, she unconsciously takes on characteristics of the privileged. But after a photo of a racist toy shows up in her social media feed, she discovers her black power.
