Meet Monica Velez, a Bronx native with a heart as big as her love for old-school R&B and a perfectly seasoned plate of tacos! Whether she’s grooving to soulful tunes in the kitchen or cooking up something delicious, Monica brings passion and flavor to everything she does.

If she could sit down with anyone for an interview, it’d be none other than Michelle Obama. Monica would dive into her wisdom, grace, and the stories behind her iconic journey. Speaking of stories, Monica’s own life would make a page-turner—she’s already got the perfect title picked out: Life in My Shoes.

For Monica, success is all about “peace of mind,” and her happiest moments are when her actions bring joy to others. Seeing someone smile because of something she did? That’s what fuels her soul.
