Dominique’s Story

Dominique is Talki Foundation's person of the year, and we got the privilege to record with her and to share her story with all of you.

Dominique tells her story about getting diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2016 due to a DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) episode. Dominique didn't let that slow her down for too long. She quickly figured out how to live with this diagnosis, and how to care for herself correctly so she could continue doing the things that she loves.

Dominique is a soccer player, coach, and also plays football for the WNFC Atlanta Phoenix. Sports has been a huge part of her life. It is inspiring to listen to her talk about continuing to do what she loves and not letting her diagnosis keep her down.

Dominique also tells us about her alert dog Bowie and how he had been so accurate at alerting her when her levels are off.

We loved recording this episode with Dominique. She is an inspiration and an amazing woman. I'll end this with a quote from her mother. 💛
