Dawn S. Smith is a writer and creative strategist whose work has garnered
critical acclaim for its ability to integrate issues of business, politics and popular culture into unique hybrid narrative forms. She began writing her first book, "Cries of a Young Girl," a collection of poetry, at the tender age of thirteen. The book was published in 1996 during her sophomore year of college. Before obtaining her journalism degree from the University of Georgia, Dawn attained a coveted position as a video-journalist at CNN: Headline News after just three days of being an editorial intern. With her endless potential Dawn looked forward to a promising career. Then tragedy struck. Pondering her purpose after her grandmother's death on a November afternoon, Dawn conceived her pseudonym, november dawn. "She encouraged her students to dream when blacks weren't even allowed to. They became doctors, lawyers, and artists. She breathed new life into them by simply telling them to 'be'. There are lessons within us that have and give life beyond our own. Those are the lessons that I intend to bring."

Reborn as a tireless advocate of human decency and respect, november dawn published her sophomore book, “the dawning,” dedicated to the memory of her beloved grandmother. She continued to commit her talents to the theatrical and film arena creating such works as “Like Grown Folks Do” and “Light” while simultaneously lending her expertise to organizations of every size, from- multimillion-dollar corporations to nonprofit groups, to orchestrate communications campaigns. Unfortunately fate intervened once again, this time in the form of a rare inoperable brain tumor that threatened to cripple the talented writer’s career, forcing the young thespian the reinvent herself once more. Speaking about the seemingly impossible task of overcoming her medical condition the writer states “my ability to create things from nothing became the metaphor for my life. Stripped down to nothing by the isolation and limitations that come with chronic illness, I had the awesome responsibility of rebuilding myself into something better.” This she did. True to form, november dawn rose to meet this new challenge responding with her critically acclaimed, haunting choreoplay “Sunshine for a Midnight Weary,” which was commended by the Los Angeles Times and LA Weekly. The piece was also nominated for an NAACP Theater Award for Best Choreography.

The following year she wrote "Poor Man's Blues," recognized by the Atlanta Film Festival as a semi-finalist in its 2004 Perfect Pitch Competition. Not long thereafter november dawn founded maisol media and resumed her work as an advocate and creative strategist. She currently resides in Atlanta where she continues to enjoy writing, reading, public speaking and networking with her peers from around the world.
