Dionicia (“Dio”) is a writer, editor, and narrative power ally whose work centers justice-rooted storytelling and the amplification of marginalized voices. She is the founder and steward of the Narrative Sovereignty Project, a practice dedicated to dismantling gatekeeping in media and expanding the spaces where narrative power is generated. Through editorial mentorship, strategic consulting, and trauma-aware facilitation, Dionicia helps individuals and communities reclaim authorship of their own stories and bring them into public discourse with clarity, dignity, and impact.

Her passion for this work is deeply personal. As a child, Dionicia survived years of unsheltered homelessness and extreme poverty—experiences marked by erasure, hate, and systemic abandonment. These formative years shaped her understanding of narrative disempowerment and the violence of invisibility. Today, she channels that lived truth into a career built on radical empathy and structural intervention, ensuring that those most often discarded by dominant systems and harmed by dominant narratives are not only heard but centered.
