When most of us were just trying to get by, Domonique Brown was working. In April 2020, the marketing manager by trade started DomoINK, a lifestyle retailer creating art, apparel, and home decor celebrating diversity and empowerment.
At the time, Brown was working two full-time jobs—marketing for both a health insurance firm and commercial real estate firm—and saving up to buy her first home with her fiancé in California. Art had been a hobby for Brown, but she thought it might be time to see if it could finally sell.
