At the age of 17 she ventured off to Washington D.C. to attend Howard University. While studying Health management she discovered her passion to write and developed her first self published book “I will survive”. Dona met the love of her life a 12-year veteran point guard in the NBA, Bobby Jackson while visiting family in Denver, Colorado. When Bobby’s career took him to Sacramento, California it was there they began a family. She is the proud Mom of three beautiful little girls. She also has two wonderful stepchildren. Helping children fulfill their dream is a special passion she admonishes as a joy.
Dona started a program called Sole to Sole that helped raise over $40,000 for hungry children in Africa. The program put shoes and socks on hundreds of children’s feet in Nairobi, Kenya while feeding them through the school feeding programs. She has made two trips to Africa with an organization called Feed the Children to spend time with the children and meet some of their basic needs.
Dona spearheaded a program in Sacramento that partnered with Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson and VSP vision care to supply inner city children with school supplies and free eye exams for a healthy start to 2009 school year at Herman Leimbach Elementary School in Elk Grove, California.
