  • Amazing and insightful podcast

    Listening to Monica's podcast sometimes makes me sit back and think she is directly speaking to me and the issues that I'm dealing with personally. She is a wonderful storyteller and an excellent interviewer. Highly recommend and love the platform that she allows other black women to tell their stories.
