FOUNDING EDITORIAL DIRECTOR
Anaïs Monique is a nomadic creative from Los Angeles, CA. A decade of blogging about travel, romance, and justice taught her that life must be explored to be a good writer, and the truth must be told to be a great one.
At some point, her storytelling evolved from whimsical to bearing witness. Now she writes from the perspective that liberation must start from within, by re-wilding the parts of ourselves that were domesticated for the sake of capitalism and white supremacy.
Her story starts with her elders and her ancestors. They endured so much of what she would never have to face.
“Sometimes, I wonder, what did they dream about? I bet some of them were just as wild as I am at heart, but never had the same opportunities to chase their dreams.”
