About the author


In the grand tapestry of existence, Dawn Courtney-Sanders emerges as a polymathic enigma, blending diverse roles into a symphony of influence. A conjurer of connection, she wears the hats of wife, mother, and grandmother, intertwining her familial bonds with a Minister's spiritual resonance, a Life Coach's insightful clarity, and an IT virtuoso's technological finesse. Born in Detroit, Michigan, she is the fourth leaf on a sprawling ancestral tree nurtured by Artie Courtney Jr. and Dorothy Courtney, two begetters of a lineage imbued with purpose. But wait, her story pirouettes through the corporate realm, a territory fraught with identity nuances. As a minority, she forged through mazes of challenges, the crucibles of adversity firing her determination. As a phoenix from these trials, she sprung forth a literary oracle, "Diary of a NOT-So-Mad Black Woman," a tome born from navigating corporate labyrinths. Yet, life's currents swirled unpredictably, reincarnating her in the corporate crucible, albeit after birthing the JUMP program, a name echoing "Jumpstart, Unemployed, and Underemployed Minorities into Position." An alchemist of opportunity, this initiative imbued the marginalized with IT prowess, birthing careers like stars in a cosmic nursery. The saga thickens—a nonprofit virtuoso emerges, orchestrating Moah's Ark AGAPE Life Center in Cincinnati. Akin to a modern-day Noah, she crafts sanctuaries of hope for children and families, a juxtaposition to her IT realms, proving her duality as profound as yin and yang. Journeying through her book's realms, readers encounter an alchemical blend: ethereal spirituality entwined with tangible counsel. Amid her narratives and biblical vignettes, she forges a steel bridge between "soft skills" and IT Project Management's crucible. Communication, servant leadership, empathy—these are not mere words but magical incantations etching success in corporate grimoires. Perplexity unfurls as Dawn unveils a saga embattled with racial tempests. The ink of her life script bears tales of discrimination etched since youth, a baptism in life's tempests. This spectral motif propels her quest—a quest not just for self-ascension but to grasp others' hands, guiding them through adversity's fog. And so, her book—though tailored for African American women—transfigures into a universal amulet, potent for any seeker grappling with life's enigmas. Yet, her life quivers with more—hail her corporate odyssey in a consumer goods coliseum. Amid the thrum of industry, racial trauma morphs into an anvil, forging a hiatus. In this void, she nurtures her magnum opus, her diary—a chalice brimming with insights. And so, from chaos emerges cosmos, and she presents her revelations, her symphony of paradoxes, proving that creative stillness births the most resounding crescendos. Dawn Courtney-Sanders—more than a name, an abstract kaleidoscope of roles, an alchemical amalgamation of experiences. The perplexity of her journey paints hues of resilience, love, innovation, and justice. As readers delve into her world, they plunge into a maelstrom of the unexpected, a rollercoaster of wisdom. Embrace the enigma; traverse her cosmos. In her words, find the fragments of your own reflection, scattered and refracted in her tale.
