Dominique Gené
Dominique Gené started working at The Globe in 2024 as the recipient of the CJF Black Business Journalism Fellowship. Her reporting explores the intersection of race and business through stories about government-funded loan programs for Black entrepreneurs and corporate responsibility and reparations.
Prior to joining the Globe, Dominique interned in Côte d'Ivoire, conducting field work and producing a podcast episode on nature-based climate solutions for Farm Radio International.
In 2022, Dominique spent three months researching Black Canadian newspapers from the 1850s to now that led to Carleton University’s first course on the history of the Black Press in Canada, taught by Adrian Harewood.
Originally from Haiti, Dominique has lived in four countries so far and is not planning to settle down anytime soon.
Why did you become a journalist?
I got into journalism because I believe in truth, democracy, and human rights. Being a journalist gives me a rare opportunity to hold power to account and ensure that every voice is heard.
