Donna Eason is an Upper School Dean of Students at Cary Academy in Cary, NC. Along with her administrative duties, she also teaches English 9: The Heroic Journey and English 10: Identity and Change Furthermore, Donna teaches an upper-level elective called Creative and Collaborative World building. In this course, students work individually and collectively to create unique, speculative-fiction worlds. Then, they build these worlds in a 3D platform and create organic stories by immersing themselves as characters in their original civilizations.
Outside of school, Donna is a huge science fiction fan, and two years ago, she created The Color of Fandom, a geek-oriented Meetup that focuses on diversity in books, comics, tv shows, movies, video games, board games, and cosplay in the speculative fiction world. The group is continuously thriving - at 250+ members, it is the most active geek-focused Meetup in the Triangle.
