Welcome to D.O.M.O.:
Defying Odds to Motivate and Overcome
With a heart both heavy and hopeful, I share a vision born from my profound love for my daughter, Dominique T. Millard—our beloved Domo. She was a gentle spirit with dreams of becoming a chef, eager to sprinkle joy into the lives of others through her culinary talents.
Tragically, her journey was cut short on Thanksgiving Day in 2019, when a drunk driver stole her future. Though we did not find justice in the courts due to mishandlings of her case, I refuse to let Domo's story end in heartbreak. I am determined to honor her legacy by shining a light on who she was and working to save other lives.
In her memory, I am creating D.O.M.O.—Defying Odds to Motivate and Overcome—a nonprofit that will be a beacon of hope for those feeling lost. Domo’s life exemplified resilience, and through D.O.M.O., we will empower others to rise above their challenges, just as she aspired to.
We will advocate for change and raise awareness alongside Mothers Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.), ensuring that no mother experiences the heartache I have. M.A.D.D. will be central to our mission, highlighting the devastating consequences of impaired driving and striving for a future where lives are protected.
As Domo’s sister, Demetria our family and I embark on this journey, I invite you to envision a world transformed by hope and resilience. D.O.M.O. is not just a name; it’s a movement—a promise to honor Domo’s legacy by empowering every heart we touch.
Together, we will weave a tapestry of stories filled with courage and strength, celebrating those who, like Domo, have faced their fears and dared to dream. We will provide resources and support, fostering a community that uplifts and inspires.
As we prepare to launch in 2025, let us turn our grief into action, making a tangible impact while honoring Domo’s memory. Join us in spreading the word about D.O.M.O., and together, we will defy the odds, motivate one another, and illuminate the path for others to follow, shining Domo’s light brightly. This is just the beginning, and I am excited for what lies ahead.
