Dothula “Dot” Baron is known throughout the community for her charitable efforts through the nonprofit MY FACE, Inc. and its MENTOR (Mentoring Empowerment, Nurturing, Opportunities, Responsibility) project, which provides mentoring, career development, community resources and other tools for families in need throughout Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. Now Baron is looking to encourage families and individuals by telling her story in her first published book, “Walking in Light, Living in Love.” 

“Walking in Light, Living in Love” explores spiritual practices and how they have shaped Baron’s life. It covers how she learned to walk in light based on her experiences with her mother and other life teachers. Through these dynamic influences, she learned to listen to her intuition and recognize her purpose. Baron said her message is that “we can create a new world, a space filled with peace and harmony, a place where we all live in love and light.”

“This book will appeal to readers because it allows people to look at their inner selves and contemplate how to walk in light and love as well as live in peace,” Baron added. “As we continue to heal from the COVID-19 experience, we have the opportunity to shift our thinking and way of life. We have had almost two years to go within, to reflect on our ways of thinking and acting. We can create a new world, a space filled with peace and harmony, a place where we all live in love and in light.”

On Saturday, June 4, Baron held a launch party and book signing event at Spring House Restaurant, Kitchen and Bar. During the event, dozens of people stopped by to purchase her book and everyone seemed to have a personal connection with other attendees. 

When asked what she wants readers to take away from the book, Baron said she wants readers to come away with the belief that life can be easier by loving yourself and spreading that love to others. 

“With our oneness with our higher selves, we become who we really are, the being we were created to be. Once we actualize who we really are, then we achieve what we came to earth to do,” Baron said.
