TESTIMONIALS
What Audiences and Readers Have to Say
“If Monique’s dynamic presence alone wasn’t impactful enough, her words of wisdom that were clearly expressed with warmth, relatability, and humor, made her one of the most memorable aspects of the event. Monique entranced the audience with her passion for diversity and inclusion in the workplace and being a great wife and mom, while stressing the importance of self-care and balance. We are so thankful to have had Monique as a pivotal part of the Self-Centered conference and would be happy to have her back for future events.”

What struck me most was how thoughtfully such an extremely accomplished career woman communicated with her young audience. Monique shared very powerful personal and professional stories with such humility and kindness, and, judging by the girls' reflections following the session, it was evident that Monique's impact on the girls was quite profound. I, too still feel the effects of Monique's inspiring visit with us and I truly hope that many more groups will have the opportunity to do the same.

This is brilliant and beautiful and touching all the parts of my heart that I reserve for the magic of black girlhood. This was an amazing collection of poetry. I know I will be thinking about many of these poems for years to come. I love that this is both a celebration of black girlhood and a testimony to their vulnerability. I feel seen.
