- Rather late then never!! In 2018 I got accepted to my dream school, the University of Pennsylvania. 4 years later, I graduated after an amazing experience.
I graduated with a B.S. in Economics and a concentration in Entertainment and Media Management from the The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. I have grown in ways I never could have imagined academically, socially, and personally. This growth allowed me to start my own company (DC Entertainment) which strives to expose black and brown students from diverse backgrounds to the opportunities at historically white institutions like the Ivy League and beyond. Through creating informative video content, hosting college prep info sessions, and financially supporting students who demonstrate financial needs through my scholarships; my business has became my baby, my creative outlet, and my passion.
This past summer, I expanded my reach globally! My team and I travelled across 11 European countries, gaining insights and interviewing students from some of the top universities. After returning back to the US, my team and I went west and spent a week documenting West Coast Student’s perspectives from Los Angeles, California to Vancouver, Canada.
These experiences brought me inside the private dinning halls of Oxford University, running through rainy streets giggling with University of Amsterdam students, enjoying new cuisines on campus in Leuven, Belgium, filming Parisian Students in front of the Eiffel Tower all the way to stepping onto USC’s legendary track and field and taking in the beauty of Stanford University’s palm tree covered campus.
4 months ago I started a new journey. Today, I completed my fourth month of work at Accenture Song in the NYC Office. I will specifically be working on Media, Content, and Brand projects, which is super exciting! With the beginning of this new journey and the continuation of building in my passions, my goal is to make my twenties my years of foundation building.
All that I have accomplished thus far would not be possible without the help of many. I would like to thank my Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister, Shamarlon, Addis, Mr. Boyd, Mrs. Boyd, Nia, Bailey, Janice, Bryce, Nicholas, and many many more people who helped me throughout college and continue to lift me up in my post-grad journey.

Throughout college I filmed 147 videos on 45 different college campuses. This wouldn't have been possible without the support of all of you. Thank you for making my college experience UNFORGETTABLE. Much love to all the people who have viewed and supported my journey over the past 4 years. I have had the opportunity to help 1000s of students and I am supaaaa excited to continue helping, but also to start showcasing the beginning of a new journey- learning more about myself, my interests, and passions. I hope you all are as excited as I am to watch this journey. Feel free to tag along for the ride :)
Love,
Dom
I love love you
I also want to say. no matter what school you're attending rather Ivy League, or a regular college, or even community college nothing is with that by the way. you can achieve and become anything you want, if u believe in yourself! and know God put you on this planet because you're special and bound for success.

When I graduated 4 years, almost 4 years ago I couldn't believe and now I still don't know how in the world I made it, losing my grandma my doggy best friend, and my grades were terrible I genuinely that I was going to fail, but I made.
Sorry my english I'm Hispanic and english is my second language
So when will you get your masters?
W Dom
What major? What career? Hope you use the affirmative action degree to work.
coming to your house!
Who’s chopping onions?🥹🥹

I graduated with my masters by God's power and realized that the best path in life is God's plan
she was dancing all confident now but was crying all scared during her reaction. overconfident cringe
U graduated college, so what? Its like graduating high school nowadays . Especially with a worthless major
Found the video of your acceptance on Instagram and i came here to check your other videos. I don’t know you personally but I’m so proud of you 🥹💗.
Being an Indian and a brown guy i am aware of the problems we as individuals or as a community do face. Our dreams get deferred every single day and hopelessness and existential crisis creeps in.
The thing that made me happy is that inspite of being rejected by the top 4 colleges in the world , you could achieve your dream. I am personally fascinated domonique. May God grant you an abundance of prosperity and an exceptional life.
Greetings from India >3
So proud of ya! 🥲 (and film production was 🤌🏽)
Thank youu😌 & thank you for all your support and help these past 4 years. You’re truly one of the realest ones I know
