clean and put no processed foods or
chemicals in my body. It’s made an
amazing difference.I dropped quite a
bit of weight from when I did ANTM
and have never been more fit or have
had more energy. I practice hot yoga
regularly and am a certified instructor. I
also run whenever I can with my Siberian
Husky Clover who runs like the wind, she
really keeps me in shape.
Teen: What are your career goals at this
point in your life?
Monique: I’m blessed to have many
offers that come consistently my way
and I still love runway and my recent
shoots have been my best so far, so
I’m still growing in my craft and love
to work. But, I have combined recently
my love for modeling with my passion
for teaching and mentoring young girls
just starting out and I’ve been teaching
all aspects of modeling.
Teen: That sounds amazing Monique,
a great balance of health, giving back
and still growing as a model.
Monique: I’ve learned much during the
past 26 years, but all in all, it’s been a
dream. I thank my family for instilling in
me the right values and never letting me
lose perspective on what matters most:
love, family, hard work and giving back
whenever possible. l
