Dominique “Domo” Brown, a prominent Disney influencer, tragically passed away last week after a medical emergency at an event hosted by BoxLunch in Los Angeles. She was a co-founder of Black Girl Disney, an online community aimed at increasing diversity within the Disney influencer sphere. Brown, 34, was known for her advocacy for representation and inclusivity in the Disney community.
Her sudden death has deeply impacted her fans and fellow creators, with many expressing their grief and admiration for her work. Juju Green, also known as Straw Hat Goofy, described Brown as a kind and genuine individual who will be greatly missed in the Black Disney creator community.
With a strong presence on Instagram and the Black Girl Disney platform, Brown had amassed over 40,000 followers who enjoyed her Disney-themed content and fashion posts. Her final Instagram post featured her wearing Disney merchandise from BoxLunch, showcasing her passion for the brand.
BoxLunch, the host of the event where the incident occurred, expressed their devastation over Brown’s passing and vowed to support her family and friends during this difficult time. The company is providing counseling for their staff and influencers and conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Brown’s death.
In response to her tragic passing, a petition has been started calling for increased safety measures for individuals with food allergies. Allegations suggest that Brown, who had a peanut allergy, did not receive adequate assistance at the venue. The petition advocates for legislation mandating the availability of EpiPens in food-serving establishments, staff training on handling allergic reactions, and improved ingredient transparency.
The untimely death of Dominique “Domo” Brown has not only left a void in the Disney community but has also sparked a conversation about the importance of food allergy awareness and safety measures in public spaces. Her legacy as a trailblazer for diversity and inclusion in the Disney influencer world will continue to inspire others to advocate for positive change.
