THE STORY
About The Good Doc
Ahh! The boring stuff! Just kidding! The Doc ain’t that boring! The first of 4 daughters, Dr. Donna Oriowo (oreo-whoa!) is a first generation Nigerian-American (Yoruba). Born in Washington D.C. and raised on jollof rice and fried chicken with mumbo sauce. Dr. Oriowo graduated from the illustrious Morgan State University with a B.S. in Psychology. But because throughout her education folk kept spilling all their sexual business, and the fateful day she watched Meet the Fockers, The Good Doc decided to go to Widener University in PA to learn more about mental health and sexuality.

A few more things that make Dr. Donna Oriowo oh-so extra special.
Graduating in 2012 with a double masters in Social Work and Education for Human Sexuality, she vowed that she would NEVER again return to school! After getting her first real adult job at an agency in D.C. and realizing not only that she lacks conviction but also wants to give her parents the Doctor they wanted, (especially since lawyer and engineer were never gonna happen) she decided to re-enroll in school and finish up with a PhD in human sexuality.
Throughout her education and work, Dr. Donna has focused on the mental and sexual health of Black women. Why? Because there is a need to explore that intersection between being a woman and being Black, which can often be missed in research, mental health, and sexual health spaces.
With a further focus on the impact of colorism and texturism on self esteem, mental and sexual health, the doc was prompted her to write Cocoa Butter and Hair Grease: A Self Love Journey Through Hair and Skin. Dr. Donna serves as the Communication Chair on the board with AASECT, and is a member of WOCSHN. She has served as the DEI co-chair for AASECT and as a editor on the advisory committee for the Journal of Sex Education.
