Disney Influencer Dominique Brown Dies After Allergic Reaction at Brand Event

The 34-year-old co-creator of Black Girl Disney suffered a fatal reaction after reportedly consuming unmarked food at a BoxLunch-hosted event in Los Angeles.

Dominique Brown, a prominent Disney influencer, died on December 5 after an allergic reaction at a BoxLunch holiday event in Los Angeles.
Brown reportedly informed staff of her life-threatening allergy but was allegedly served food containing the allergen, leading to an anaphylactic reaction.
Efforts to save Brown included CPR and an announcement asking for an EpiPen, but emergency services were unable to prevent her death.
A Change.org petition launched by Brown's friend seeks mandatory food allergy safety measures, including EpiPens, staff training, and ingredient transparency at food establishments.
Brown, celebrated for fostering inclusivity in Disney fandom through Black Girl Disney, is being mourned by fans, friends, and her family, who are calling for systemic change to prevent similar tragedies.
