Here's WHAT I DO

My full story

Monique Wilson is a storyteller, strategist, and culture curator. A Georgetown alum from New York with global roots in London and Zimbabwe, she brings a sharp, multicultural perspective to her work. Her bylines in Glamour amplify underrepresented voices at the intersections of identity, lifestyle, and culture.

As the host of Bet on Black, she dives into the resilience and creativity of the Black community. Beyond media, Monique mentors high school students and fosters in-person third spaces where diverse voices connect, share, and grow. Whether through writing, podcasting, or community-building, she is dedicated to telling stories that shape culture.

From editorial to audio, I bring multicultural stories to life—and give them the space they deserve.

-Reader, ‘Endometriosis Stole My Life’: What It’s Really Like to Live With the Condition

I wanted to reach out to say thank you—from the bottom of my heart—for writing something so raw, validating, and painfully accurate. Your words deeply resonated with me, bringing to the surface so many of my own experiences with this condition that are often invisible or misunderstood by the outside world. The emotional, physical, and social toll you captured is so real, and I’m grateful that you used your voice and platform to shed light on a reality so many of us silently endure. 

"It made me feel seen in a way that I rarely do."

I just want to say THANK YOU again and again. I know I've mentioned it a hundred times now, but you have given me the space to be free, vulnerable, and talk about my journey, which has not been easy. Oftentimes, I get so camera shy and awkward, but this conversation segued into the most beautiful conversation and eventually made me feel right at home.
