Dominique grew up in the Cascade Heights neighborhood of Southwest Atlanta, the daughter of a Spelman College administrator and a city firefighter who named her after Deion Sanders' signature smoothness. She attended Frederick Douglass High School on Hamilton E. Holmes Drive before earning a journalism degree from Georgia State. She cut her teeth covering the Falcons beat for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's digital desk, then transitioned to broadcast at WSB-TV before landing at MiTL. She has covered every Falcons home game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium since it opened in 2017 and still parks in the West End and walks the Atlanta BeltLine Westside Trail to the stadium every single Sunday.
Fan Perspective
She's a die-hard who grew up watching the heartbreak loop: the 2017 Super Bowl, the Julio Jones years, the endless quarterback carousel. Dominique doesn't pretend those wounds are healed, but she refuses to be defined by them — she covers the Falcons with the specific audacity of someone who keeps coming back and actually believes this time is different. She's the correspondent most likely to be seen arguing with strangers at The Varsity on Spring Street after a loss.
Local Coverage
Dominique does her pre-game analysis at The Busy Bee Cafe on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, the same soul food counter her grandfather took her to after church. She walks the Atlanta BeltLine's Westside Trail from Lee + White, stops at Monday Night Brewing for a post-game beer when the Falcons win, and watches away games at Red's Beer Garden on Metropolitan Parkway with her old high school crew. Her crowd always ends up at Trap Music Museum afterhours.
