E. Dolores Johnson is the author of Say I'm Dead, A Family Memoir of Race, Secrets and Love. It is the story of generations of her family who endured fear, secrets, and separation because they refused to be bound by forbidding race-mixing norms and laws. In following their courageous journeys, we travel through America's racial history, from plantation rapes through Jim Crow codes to today's growing acceptance of race-mixing.

 Say I'm Dead won the 2020 Outstanding Literary Award from the National Association of Black Journalists, received a starred review from the American Library Association, and was reviewed in the New York Post. She has also published essays on race and identity in literary magazines and in newspapers. Dolores is at work on her second book.

In her previous 30-year career, Johnson was a Vice President of International Marketing at Fortune 100 tech companies, creating and launching tech solutions for national communications companies in 16 countries. She has also consulted on diversity with colleges, corporations, and non-profits during her business career. A graduate of Howard University and Harvard Business School, Johnson directed the digitization of John F. Kennedy's archives at his Presidential Library and the Library of Congress. 

In her life of service, Johnson is a public speaker on race and identity, mentors Black professional women, is a board member for Boston University and the Virginia Center for Creative Arts, and previously Berklee College of Music. She is a member of St. Paul AME Church in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Chairs the Saving Our Sisters Program for Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, and works on the Voices for Justice program at the Cambridge Public Library.
