S4 Episode 2 - Made On Purpose

Joining Catherine & Pete in this episode of our new season is Dominique Bowler-Brown.

CW: We discuss sexual abuse and trauma

She is a thirty-five-year-old from South London, home-schooling mother of two and a half children (pregnant at time of recording).

Dominique studied at BRIT performing arts college and then Goldsmiths University of London, and over the past several years she has worked in television commercials, acting and modelling and has written five novels (“Energy” and “Generation” by Miniq Brown, available on Amazon).

Her work focuses on issues of trauma and family psychology and she has a passion for depicting under-represented voices; black, female, autistic in particular.

She is currently writing a novel called “The Worthy” about how society dignifies and assigns value to people with physical and mental differences and disabilities like autism, cerebral palsy and trisomy 21.

Dominique was diagnosed autistic at thirty-one after trying to get a diagnosis for her daughter, which came as a relief but not a surprise.

She had previously attributed many of her struggles in life to being black, female and outspoken. Her daughter was subsequently diagnosed and has been an inspiration to her to show her how to be a mentally healthy autistic woman and be for her what she wished she could have had in her own childhood.

Dominique has recently moved to Canada with her husband Luke and two daughters.
