The actress starred in her first film role in Night Comes On, playing Angel Lamere — a teenager newly released from juvenile detention who sets out with her 10-year-old sister (Tatum Marilyn Hall) to avenge their mother's death. The movie won a handful of awards at the Chéries-Chéris, Deauville, Lighthouse International, and Mendocino film festivals in 2018, as well as the Sundance and Melbourne Queer film festivals in 2019.
Dominique also appeared in 2018's The Hate U Give as Kenya, one of Starr's (Amandla Stenberg) closest friends. She's set to act alongside Daniel Kaluuya, Lakeith Stanfield, Algee Smith, and Jesse Plemons in 2021's Judas and the Black Messiah.
