After attending Spelman College, Dorsey transferred to Clark Atlanta University. She graduated in 1964, with her B.S. degree in secretarial science. Dorsey performed secretarial work for various companies, until she became an administrative assistant for the National Urban League. Dorsey worked for the NAACP's defense team throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and for the Stanford Mid-Peninsula Urban Coalition on Affordable Housing in San Francisco, California.
