Rising Together. Transforming Our World.
Dr. Dominica McBride
What if love is the only strategy that works…for building the life and world we deserve?
Dr. Dominica's Speaker Reel
I am Dr. Dominica McBride,
an author, mother, evaluator, and community psychologist.
I am deeply devoted to collective development, uplifting communities, and an inclusive society. For over two decades, communities, from Chicago to Tanzania, have been supported in reclaiming power and co-creating lives and communities rooted in love, dignity, and possibility. This commitment also led to the founding of BECOME, a nonprofit supporting community-led transformation locally and nationally, and to the writing of the award-winning, best-selling book, Becoming Change Makers, offered as a guide for those walking the path of leadership becoming, and positive social change.
At the heart of this work is this truth:
We are whole, worthy, and powerful…and we are becoming.
Through therapeutic practice, evaluation, and facilitated gatherings, space has been created for clarity, connection, and courageous action. Whether with individuals, organizations, or entire communities, my intention remains the same: to support growth and transformation that reflect our highest potential.
We are here to build anew with solutions, structures, and cultures that honor our humanity and support our collective becoming.
I don’t just speak about change.
I walk it, with and alongside others.
Let’s rise and become…together.
How we can work together.
Whether you’re seeking a dynamic speaker, a transformational training, or tools to support your growth and leadership journey, these offerings are here to nourish and activate.

TESTIMONIALS
Dear one,
Life has layered us with dirt, from pandemics, conflict, betrayal, exhaustion. It settles on our minds, bodies, and spirits, leaving many of us feeling alone, broken, or not enough. If that resonates, you’re in the right place.
We are taught lies of scarcity, that we are powerless, unwanted, or divided. Yet within each
of us lives brilliance, love, wisdom, and deep connection. These gifts aren’t lost…only
covered.
Like iodine added to salt, real change happens when care becomes woven into daily life.
That is what this space offers: growth that is accessible, lived, and shared.
Where growth is not a luxury, but a birthright.
Let this be your refuge.
Let this be your catalyst.
Let this be where you return to yourself…and rise.
