Knowing what we want to be when we grow up is a gift, but for most of us, our careers take us to unexpected and surprising places—just like our guest for this episode.

In this episode we hear from Dominique Johnson, Connecticut State Representative for the 143rd District, covering parts of Norwalk and Westport. Dominique takes us through her unexpected path into politics, starting from her days as an aspiring violinist to becoming a social scientist and finally, stepping into the world of public service.

With her skill of analytical thinking combined with a deep commitment to education and the youth, Dominique discovered social science and worked with nonprofits, eventually transitioning into a political career where she could directly impact her community.

She shares valuable insights about her dedication to making a tangible impact in her community through coalition-building and thoughtful legislation.

Topics Include:

Using Past Experiences for Future Success: We can never truly know how the things we know and the skills we develop now will help us in the future. Dominique’s background in social science and the analytical mind developed by music gave her the skills to address real-world issues through data-driven solutions.

The Power of Community: It is incredibly important to have a community that supports and recognizes your potential —especially when pursuing paths you never imagined for yourself.

Building Coalitions for Effective Governance: An approach to policy making is to emphasize collaboration and listening to diverse voices. Bipartisan efforts and coalition-building can lead to meaningful change, even in politically divided environments.

Dominique’s story is a reminder that the most meaningful careers often result from life’s unexpected twists. As a dedicated community leader, her work aligns with the values of HAYVN—advocating for women’s economic mobility, sustainability, and workforce development. Her ongoing efforts continue to support her constituents and contribute to building a more inclusive and resilient society.

Tune in to hear more about how Dominique is bringing her skills, passion, and heart to the political arena while keeping her community's well-being at the center of everything she does.
