Throughout her career, Dana has been an outspoken advocate for women.

Dana also used her platform on the radio to advocate for equal pay and to discuss sexual harassment and bias in the workplace. A repeat guest on HLN (Headline News), Dana has also written for Forbes, and the Atlanta Business Chronicle.
