Tracie Donahue’s career has been spurred by life experiences. After a heart wrenching divorce that left her with 3 children, no job and in poverty she knew a college degree was the only answer. She obtained a Journalism degree at California State University, Sacramento. While attending college, she opened her own production company that specialized in topics that made a difference to our society. She focused on short documentaries, commercials, and public awareness campaigns, some of which have been featured on the worldwide network Current TV.
Donahue’s divorce motivated her to write and direct her most recent film “Secrets To Love.” The award winning, full-length feature documentary “Secrets to Love,” has been captivating audiences around the world in the film festival circuit and changing many lives in the process. Her goal for this film was to educate the public about marriage, and now marriage education experts, teachers and counselors are using “Secrets To Love” as an educational tool in 12 states and 21 cities. Donahue is the 2008 recipient of the Life Heroes Extraordinary Person Award for her work using film to help others. Currently she is working with the California Healthy Marriage Coalition using her film Secrets To Love to raise public awareness about marriage education and how couples can have a happy, healthy relationship.
