The chronicle of Dawn Michelle Chamberlain is a striking manifestation of resilience, tenacity, and relentless hard work. For a span of two years, two months, two weeks and two days, Chamberlain was confined within the austere surroundings of a federal prison. Yet, this phase was not a symbol of her defeat, but rather a stepping stone that led to an extraordinary personal transformation. Her story offers an inspiring testament to the power of reinvention in the face of adversity. 

Being the CEO of a prosperous tax preparation agency in 2004, Chamberlain was a force to be reckoned with in her community. Her astute financial planning skills, coupled with her flair for tax management, played a pivotal role in fostering financial independence within her community. However, a series of unethical decisions made in her relentless pursuit to secure larger tax returns for her clients, precipitated her subsequent downfall. 

Her methods, though questionable, did not remain hidden for long. Chamberlain soon found herself entangled in an extensive five-year investigation for alleged tax fraud against the United States. The culmination of this investigation was her indictment in 2013, and eventual imprisonment in 2014. The professional chapter that once saw her thriving was abruptly closed, opening a new one filled with solitude and reflection. 

Chamberlain’s narrative, however, wasn’t doomed to end within the prison walls. On the contrary, 2016 heralded her emancipation and marked her resurgence, backed by unwavering determination, an undying spirit of service, and a newfound purpose. She emerged as an internationally recognized keynote speaker, master trainer, coach, and author, intent on motivating business owners to confront challenges and prosper in their respective fields. 

Fast forward to the present day, Chamberlain holds the reins of Dawn Michelle Enterprises Inc., as the CEO, and serves as the Chief Visionary Officer of the Felon Friendly Foundation. In these roles, she empowers her clients to unleash their potential and navigate their way to business victories. Further, through her ground-breaking coaching program, the No Hustle University, she imparts critical business acumen and skills to aspiring entrepreneurs. 

Beyond her commercial exploits, Chamberlain is also a strong advocate for social justice. She fervently supports the Second Chance Act, advocating for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for individuals who have been through the justice system. Serving as the Chairperson of the Hooper Councill Positive Potential Project, she assists in facilitating the reintegration of high-risk individuals into the community. 

With her imminent TV series on the Onstage Plus Network and her upcoming book, “Stop Playing! Get Your Shiii Together: From Fed Life to Legit Business Life,” Chamberlain is set to extend her sphere of influence even further. The book is a testament to her mission to lead readers in establishing successful businesses, irrespective of their past mistakes or present challenges.
