As a dreamer, Dawn McKenzie has been able to dream up and then create a life that is full of joy, love, compassion and creativity. Her childhood growing up in Harlem and then Brooklyn, NY provided her with the great foundation and enabled her to discover her true love of education and learning. Always knowing that she wanted to pursue things that brought her joy and gave her a creative outlet, rather than just a specific career, eventually led Dawn to becoming a business owner. By building an online business with her husband, Dawn is able to live a lifestyle that works best for her own desires and allows her the flexibility of time and location. Dawn is such a joyful and giving person who is a wonderful #TuesdayTalk Guest.
