More About Our Executive Director Dominique Rose


I am an accomplished individual with a multifaceted portfolio of achievements. I have served as a dedicated Girls Scout Leader in the Little Elm and Frisco area and contributed as a District Advisory Committee member for the Frisco Independent School District's Capital Projects Board.


My academic journey includes being a five-time National Honor Society member, earning an Associate of Science, a Bachelor of Nursing, and advancing to become a Registered Nurse and Nurse Practitioner. In 2022, I graduated with distinction from the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program with a 3.7 GPA and obtained a PhD through a double major program.


I'm also a successful business owner, running 'Nude Luxury,' an online custom boutique. As a co-owner of 'Eve Talk with Dr. Rose,' I address critical community conversations. I'm actively involved in the 'K-College Zero Debt College Project,' a partnership with the Mayor of Little Elm, and serve as the Director of 'Cottman Charities and Enterprise's Incorporated.' I've embarked on a new mission with the 'DFW Housing Initiative,' a nonprofit that focuses on education and community influence, reflecting my belief in teaching and serving others.”

The Problem

Homelessness is an urgent and complex issue affecting the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) region and its residents. Moreover, financial illiteracy and a lack of access to quality youth programs and mentorship opportunities exacerbate the challenges faced by vulnerable populations. These multifaceted issues demand our immediate attention and unwavering commitment.
