Soror Dorothy Terry

I was initiated into Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., in 1999 via the Omicron Chi Omega Chapter in Prince William County, VA.

I grew up in Charleston, South Carolina. I am the oldest girl of seven siblings.

I ended up in the Washington, D.C. area, when I was accepted to the School of Communications at Howard University, where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Print Journalism. I later received a Master's degree in Public Relations & Corporate Communications from Georgetown University.

I've written professionally throughout my career, having worked as a newspaper reporter, magazine writer, Capitol Hill press secretary, corporate communications specialist and as a communications consultant through my own company, Write Market Communications. One of my proudest moments as a writer was interviewing astronaut and Soror Mae Jemison. The article ended up in Ebony magazine!

I'm a retired Navy veteran's wife. We have one daughter, who will be 23 in April.

In my spare time, I write creatively while keeping hope alive that I will become a published author someday!
