Allow me to reintroduce myself

Monique is passionate about building community and connection through shared experiences. Whether she’s speaking on stage, creating content, or leading her worldwide healing excursions, Monique encourages others to embrace self-love, self-awareness, self-acceptance, and harmony with the world around them—starting from within.

Born in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Monique graduated as the Salutatorian of her class at Pleasantville High School and earned a full academic scholarship to Duquesne University to study business law.
