"She (Monique) adopted us like we were her own kids — made sure the essentials were always in place, celebrated our wins, offered words of encouragement, checked in when we were off, and made sure no one was left behind. She didn’t just lead us — she looked out for us. "
- Mattie (Brazil 2024)

"She’s the kind of leader who’s always ready to give, even if it means giving up something of her own. Whether it’s her time, energy, or belongings, she doesn’t think twice about putting others before herself."
- Ashley (Brazil 2024)
