In 2016 Ms. Dawson was invited by Grandmaster Morris to join the Asheville Sun Soo staff part-time as an assistant in the After School Program. In 2017, Ms. Dawson’s responsibilities were expanded, and in addition to her duties with the After School Program, she also became an administrative assistant, the webmaster, and social media liaison.
