Dr. Dominica McBride on Collective Transformation, Community Healing & Becoming the Change Maker Your Community Needs

Presence isn't just what you carry into a room — it's what you build in a community, and what you leave behind. That's legacy.

In this episode, host Deneen L. Garrett sits down with Dr.

Dominica McBride—community psychologist, founder of Become, champion of culturally responsive evaluation, and author of Becoming Changemakers , who has spent over a decade building the capacity of communities across Arizona, Chicago, and Tanzania to create the reality they desire and deserve. This conversation is for the woman ready to move from commanding her own room to building the kind of community power that outlasts her — and who needs the reminder that rest isn't a luxury, it's resistance.
