Donna initiate the Nubian Book Club, an intergenerational community initiative that encourages minority youth, their families and community leaders to engage in a rich dialogue about literature to support the advancement of the participating youth. The Nubian Book Club was also able to support the Hohle Intermediate School in South Africa to fill its library with hundreds of books through donations, and has subsequently renamed its library after the Nubian Book Club, in honour of this ongoing support.
