Survival Crimes | EP. 17 | The DCMWG Show with Dominique Morgan

This week, Mona takes the show to Atlanta and sits down with Dominique Morgan for a conversation that’s layered, honest, and not afraid to get a little uncomfortable. Dominique opens up about her journey, including her time in prison and how it shaped her advocacy around prison reform (5:50). Mona meets her right there, sharing her own experience with incarceration and what it meant for her identity, femininity, and growth (11:40). From there, the two get into everything from chasing your dreams and actually putting in the work (20:15) to the complexities of language, labels, and how terms like “cisgender” hit differently depending on who’s saying it (27:35). The conversation doesn’t stay in one lane either—Mona and Dominique touch on online beefs, the D.L. Whisperer (31:35), and the ups and downs of navigating visibility and fame (40:00), with a nod to voices like Marc Lamont Hill when it comes to intelligent humor and discourse (41:50). They also break down a recent discrimination case at Zara (52:20). Of course, it wouldn’t be Mona without a funny Atlanta moment thrown in, as she shares a story about getting bagged by someone who wasn’t quite what she expected (1:07:20)It’s a conversation that moves between serious, funny, and thought-provoking without missing a beat—and it wraps with where you can catch more of both Mona and Dominique following their appearance at the Black Effect Podcast Festival.-------------------------See Mona Live!
