Meet
Dominique.
Dominique Mack is the driving force behind Community Rx, a woman whose life’s work is dedicated to uplifting marginalized communities, fostering equity, and facilitating healing across Georgia and beyond. With deep roots in Brunswick, Georgia, Dominique’s understanding of the social, cultural, and political landscape of the Deep South shapes her approach to community care and strategic solutions.
Georgia Roots and Deep South Connections
As a native of Brunswick, Dominique possesses an intimate knowledge of the unique challenges and opportunities within Georgia, particularly in rural areas and communities of color. Her familiarity with these communities allows her to approach place-based giving with a nuanced understanding, ensuring that the strategies she develops are both relevant and impactful.
Through her work with organizations like Partnership for Southern Equity, Georgia Community Action Association, and Georgia Family Connection Partnership, Dominique has established deep connections with key stakeholders across the state. These relationships—spanning nonprofit leaders, policymakers, faith-based organizations, business leaders, and community organizers—ensure that her approach is grounded, informed, and deeply attuned to the needs of those she serves.
A Commitment to Equity and Inclusive Participation
Dominique’s commitment to equity is at the core of her work. She believes in creating spaces where every voice is heard and valued, particularly those from marginalized and under-resourced communities. Her strategies prioritize inclusive participation, drawing on a diverse range of stakeholders, including community partners, youth voices, and BIPOC perspectives.
Every community Dominique works with is unique, and she tailors her engagement strategies to reflect that. By using culture-specific tools, policies, and practices, she ensures that the solutions she develops are not only effective but also resonate deeply with the people they are designed to help.
Approach and Strategy
Dominique’s approach to community engagement and development is both comprehensive and collaborative.
Comprehensive
We begin our work with a thorough assessment of the community or organization’s current state. This involves conducting surveys, interviews, and data analysis to ensure that our understanding is well-rounded and informed by multiple perspectives.
Collaborative
Learning and growth happen best in a collaborative environment. Our strategies include hands-on exercises, group work, one-on-one interactions, and individual skill-building activities. This diverse approach encourages big-picture thinking while also allowing for the development of fine skills, fostering connection, and aligning values within the community.
Healing
We recognize that many communities carry the weight of trauma, stress, and emotional pain. Our practices are trauma-centered, spiritual, and holistic, offering pathways to recovery and well-being that honor the full spectrum of human experience.
