Monica loves to pull apart small moments from people-watching, her experiences, and observations, then weave them into stories. She's passionate about bilingual cinema and often escapes into the world of literature. She's produced plays, self-published her first short story collection, 'Daddy & Tea Cakes,' and co-wrote copy for 'Black Conversations,' a personal project. Storytelling, building, and connecting are the threads that run through all her creative endeavors.

Most of the time, you'll find her playing with words, replaying her favorite playlist, and negotiating with procrastination.
