About the Author
michael dumlao
(He/They) I am an artist, author, and activist equipped with more than twenty-one years of advancing diversity, equity, and social justice through award-winning brand strategy, digital marketing, and creative storytelling in corporate, federal, academic, and non-profit environments. I led the rebrand of a Fortune 500 company as its first Director of Brand and serve as a senior advisor for leaders in government, defense and intelligence.
A sought-after speaker on audacious authenticity, brand activation, and diversity, I am passionate about the role of creativity and the arts in making a better world. I was born in Manila, Philippines, raised in Sydney, Australia, schooled in Santa Barbara, California, and now reside in Washington DC with my Peruvian husband Daniel and our rescue dog, America. I am the proud guncle to more than fifty far-flung niblings and protégés to whom my debut book, The Wisdom of Guncles, is dedicated.
