“Radiant” has meant allot to me. There is so much wisdom behind every word that is spoken. These
events have taught me and so many other of my friends, how to dress beautifully without showing too
much and how carry ourselves with grace. We do fun things that teach us how to be confident but
in a so non-boring way, but the best activity was giving our self a facial.”

October 2009 - Casa Shalom, Romania
Monica traveled to Casa Shalom in Romania with her own finances to encourage women that live in poverty. The women were given clothing, personal care items and a facial. Monica then spoke to them about their value and worth. She also help organize a special tea in their honor. For most of these women, these experiences were “firsts.” They continue to say, “I remember when."
Monica encourages “women in transition” at the Union Gospel Mission - Women’s Recovery Program, by teaching business etiquette. Topics covered: First Impressions, Dressing for Success, Overcoming Old Mindsets, Starting Over, Interview Tips, Handshaking Hints and Hair Care.
"Hello Monica, we are still talking about much of the information you shared with us. What fun! We, the ladies at AOH even dressed like you at our next All Staff meeting. It was a blast! Thank you for what you do!"
Tiffany Riddle
Vocational/Educational Manager
“I wanted to say thank you again for coming to our club and being a part of our S.M.A.R.T. Girl’s ‘Girls Night Out” party! I loved the lessons that the girls learned when you came. It makes me very happy to know the girls walked away with knowledge and built positive memories they will treasure for life. Without you Monica, this all could not be completed and achieved! Thank you again.”
