Dana Rebeiro

Dana Rebeiro was born on June 6, 1969. She remained in New Bedford until attending  Brimmer  and May School for girls in Brookline, Massachusetts. While attending Brimmer and May she volunteered at Amnesty International, participated in the Huntington Theatre Company’s Young Critic’s Program, studied ballet and classical piano, played tennis and field hockey for the school team, and traveled throughout Europe and to Japan.

Upon graduating she attended Howard University for both Undergraduate and Graduate schools. It was during this time she began volunteering at a battered women’s center, working specifically with children. Ms. Rebeiro left Washington, D.C. to move to New York City where she worked on feature films, music videos, and television commercials. Eventually she moved to Los Angeles, where she worked as a media liaison for various concert promoters. She took time to travel throughout Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Cuba producing her first photo exhibit for a small gallery in Venice, California.

Ms. Rebeiro returned to New York after being awarded a grant to produce a short documentary. She then went on to produce a short film, a series of hip-hop showcases and began work as a freelance writer. Eventually she was recruited to the new editing team for High Times Magazine, her creativity, business sense, and political acumen were to be utilized to return the magazine to it’s once prestigious position in the world of publishing.

Since returning to New Bedford Ms. Rebeiro has been an avid activist as well as producing documentaries on issues that effect our city.
