Dr. Dee Dawkins-Haigler is the Voice of a New Morning Movement
By She Emerge Magazine Editorial Team
She doesn’t just walk into a room—she commands it. She doesn’t just speak on air—she ignites minds. And she’s not just hosting a show—she’s building a legacy.
Dr. Dee Dawkins-Haigler is the embodiment of what it means to emerge—to rise with purpose, lead with fire, and speak with divine clarity. As the bold and brilliant voice behind the morning show “Wake Up With Dee” on 1380 WAOK, Dr. Dee is setting a new standard for talk radio—and for women in media, ministry, politics, and global advocacy.
The Voice of Vision
Every weekday morning from 7 AM to 10 AM, Dr. Dee broadcasts more than just news. She broadcasts truth. Her show isn’t for the faint-hearted. It’s a space where uncomfortable conversations are welcomed, where real solutions are prioritized, and where the next generation of leaders tune in—not just to listen—but to learn and lead.
Wake Up With Dee is the voice of the movement we didn’t know we needed—but can no longer live without. From Atlanta to Africa, her reach stretches far beyond the mic. She is equipping women, empowering communities, and awakening souls.
A Crown Built on Courage
Dr. Dee’s crown wasn’t handed to her. She forged it through decades of work—as a Georgia State Representative, community advocate, ordained minister, educator, and global trailblazer. She chaired the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus and led women’s empowerment initiatives across continents, earning six honorary doctorates and global recognition for her advocacy.
But behind the accolades is a woman who refused to be silenced. A woman who stood in rooms where decisions were made and made sure women of color were not just present—but powerful.
Unapologetically Anointed
Dr. Dee’s ministry is not limited to the pulpit. It’s in every word she speaks, every life she touches, and every issue she confronts head-on—from voter suppression and human trafficking to education inequality and economic empowerment.
Her documentary “Black Girls Die Too: The Backpage Murders” shook the nation. Her global leadership training for women in Nigeria, South Africa, and beyond is raising an army of world-changers. And her work with the Organization of World Leaders at the United Nations is anchoring her as a voice for justice, dignity, and destiny.
She is the epitome of a Kingdom Woman—walking in her anointing, standing in her truth, and lifting others along the way.
More Than a Show—It’s a Movement
Wake Up With Dee isn’t just a broadcast—it’s a blueprint. A call for women to rise up, speak boldly, and step into leadership unapologetically. Whether she’s interviewing a U.S. Senator, mentoring a young girl from the inner city, or challenging systemic injustice, Dr. Dee does it all with excellence, elegance, and edge.
She reminds us that our voice has value, our pain has purpose, and our leadership can be both fierce and feminine.
