A 1995 Wellesley graduate, I experienced a personal metamorphosis during my time there. I found my voice and expressed it in ways I hadn’t before, often using story. I stopped apologizing for taking up space in the world—for existing. I learned to value my well-considered opinion and share it widely and unapologetically. 

I now derive great satisfaction from supporting other women in achieving the same in their professional endeavors. I offer that through revelational and resonant strategic storytelling.

"“Dahna is exceptional at strategic content development, and I’m incredibly impressed by both the speed and quality of the strategy she delivered for us! Her sector-specific expertise is both broad and outstanding, and she’s a pleasure to collaborate with. Strategic communications is truly her zone of genius, and I recommend her highly.”"

I began my strategic storytelling career at Wellesley as a student journalist and newsletter content writer and editor. I'm now an award-winning journalist and digital pioneer who's spent over 25 years refining my strategic storytelling expertise in finance, nonprofit, and entrepreneurial sectors. I embraced the digital world and launched my consultancy in 1997, running my first viral content marketing campaign in 1998.

That campaign went global, made me a small business development “influencer” of the day, and helped me land what became my award-winning work at Black Enterprise magazine in the aughts.

This early exposure propelled me into helping senior executives at preeminent wealth industry brands develop thought leadership content. I've also partnered with organizations in the opportunity finance sector, offering strategic content that emphasizes culturally competent transformative storytelling that shifts narratives and drive social justice.

Besides my consulting work, I've been a regular contributor to American Express Business Class, providing insights to entrepreneurs on effective business development, operations, and financing strategies.
