The co-founder of Pompano Media Group, publishing Pompano Today magazine, she is also an excellent writer and in demand as a motivational speaker.  As explained on her blog she calls herself Coach Dawne as a (mostly) tongue-in-cheek reference to my experience in a wide range of life events. I’ve got a wealth of experience in many different areas, both personal and professional, but it’s not always clear to me what I’ve learned from my mistakes, so maybe you can! Kidding. I’ve learned many valuable lessons that I’m happy to share with you. Also, I do enjoy humor, even (and perhaps especially) when it’s at my own expense. Life is pretty grim without the ability to laugh at yourself.

Republican Jesus Author Tony Keddie Visits Madame Perry's Salon  The complete guide to debunking right-wing misinterpretations of the Bible—from economics and immigration to gender and sexuality. Jesus loves borders, guns, unborn babies, and economic prosperity and hates homosexuality, taxes, welfare, and universal healthcare—or so say many Republican politicians, pundits, and preachers. Through outrageous misreadings of the New Testament gospels that started almost a century ago, conservative influencers have conjured a version of Jesus who speaks to their fears, desires, and resentments. In Republican Jesus, Tony Keddie explains not only where this right-wing Christ came from and what he stands for but also why this version of Jesus is a fraud. By restoring Republicans’ cherry-picked gospel texts to their original literary and historical contexts, Keddie dismantles the biblical basis for Republican positions on hot-button issues like Big Government, taxation, abortion, immigration, and climate change.
