Barbados-born, Canada-based. I build books, businesses, and futures — for my daughter, and for the people who dare to create.
Fourteen years running a tech agency had taught me how systems think. Motherhood taught me why stories matter. And somewhere in the collision of those two things, Idea Alchemist was reborn — a studio that treats technology as a creative ally, not a threat.
I didn't set out to become a publisher. I simply wanted to see my daughter reflected in the books she read — and when those books didn't exist, I made them.
I believe the most dangerous assumption in any industry is that the future will resemble the past. My work is about building for what comes next.
Today I run multiple brands — each with its own audience, voice, and purpose — while consulting with entrepreneurs and organizations ready to think differently about what technology and systems thinking makes possible. None of it is accidental. All of it is connected.
Two brands. One coherent vision. Here's how the ecosystem fits together — for anyone writing the story.
The master studio. AI consulting, strategic transformation, and the hub that connects everything I build. For entrepreneurs and organizations ready to work with the future.
AI Consulting · Strategy · StudioA publishing imprint rooted in cultural joy and representation. Children's books that reflect the world as it actually is — vibrant, diverse, and full of wonder.
Publishing · Children's Books · CultureAvailable for keynotes, panels, podcasts, and intimate conversations. Comfortable in rooms of 10 or 10,000.
Monique doesn't talk about AI the way most consultants do — she makes you feel like you're already behind, and somehow excited about it at the same time.
What struck me most was how she moves between worlds — tech strategy, children's publishing, humor — and makes it all feel inevitable, not chaotic.
ChocoLit Press™ fills a gap that shouldn't exist but does. The books are gorgeous, culturally grounded, and my kids ask for them by name.
If you're an entrepreneur, organization, or creative ready to think differently about AI — Idea Alchemist is where we do that work.
