🇺🇸 English Version
Dom Jones was born in the challenging streets of Compton, California, raised by a mother of thirteen children. Growing up in poverty and homelessness, she refused to be defined by her circumstances — pursuing higher education across the Midwest and Southern California in the humanities, communication studies, and women's studies.
With nearly 20 years in fitness, yoga, and wellness advocacy, Dom understands the deep connection between physical and emotional health. She even learned Vietnamese and Tagalog to amplify voices within diverse American communities.
In 2022, Dom appeared on CBS's The Amazing Race (Season 34), bringing her message of empathy and cross-cultural understanding to a global audience. During the 2024 U.S. elections, over 100,000 American citizens voted to have her represent them.
Today, she has chosen Taiwan as her home — turning an extraordinary life journey into a gift for every student she meets.
