The work of coming home to yourself.
The Story
Dom didn't set out to build a movement. She set out to save her own life.
Dominque Pope is a keynote speaker, personal development leader, and creator of the Choose You Framework™, presented by W2I | Women With Intention. Her work is a direct response to the question so many women whisper in the dark: "How did I lose myself in here?"
For years, Dom did what many of us learned to do — she shrank to be chosen. She stayed in rooms that cost her identity. She loved others louder than she loved herself. And then, in the quiet after a relationship ended, she made a different decision. She chose herself. Not once, but every day afterward.
"I stopped waiting to be picked. I picked myself. That single decision rebuilt everything."
Today, Dom speaks to audiences across the country — at conferences, corporate summits, universities, and community gatherings — with a message that is equal parts tender and unflinching. She teaches LGBTQ+ women how to heal on purpose, love without losing themselves, and design lives they no longer have to recover from.
Her signature framework — Recognize · Reclaim · Rebuild — has become the language women use to name what they've been carrying and to set it down.
A life built by faith and intention.
Losing herself to be loved
Dom lived what many LGBTQ+ women live — shrinking, over-giving, mistaking self-abandonment for love.
The quiet decision
After the ending of a defining relationship, Dom chose herself for the first time — and kept choosing.
The Choose You Framework™
The private practice of choosing herself became a public framework used by women across the country.
A movement of intentional women
Dom leads W2I | Women With Intention — a growing community of LGBTQ+ women rebuilding on purpose.
"You don't have to earn the life you want. You have to choose it — again, and again, and again."
