Actress, Dancer, Musician & Producer
Monique Nicole Gibbons
Born and raised in Westfield, Massachusetts, to a large animal loving family, Monique is a nurturer of all living things. During her time studying at The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts in Manhattan, you'd often find her smiling and waving at every dog that passes by her on the street.
Along with animals, Monique is very compassionate about making those around her feel safe and cared for. She's a huge advocate of mental health awareness. Working for YWCA Western Massachusetts, her local Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence center, she educated her community on University Campuses about a variety of topics that are stigmatized. Now she teaches the yout ho In March of 2023, Monique met with the the Massachusetts House of Reps and Senator Elizabeth Warren's office in D.C about the importance of this work through activism. Monique hopes to provide supportive, healthy outlets through her own art moving forward.
Dancing since age two, Monique uses art to express herself. In middle school Monique also discovered music - with piano and guitar becoming her voice when she felt she didn't have one. Years later singing would be added to make a musical trio. Monique's music speaks about perseverance, not only through her words, but also through the chords she plays. Going through the mental struggles of high school and all that life brings, Monique turned to movies to feel alive again, giving an outlet to relate, to process, to feel less alone. Monique wants to give those who may feel alone right now, or feel as though they don't have the right to speak, an outlet through her work.
"We all know what it feels like to be alone, and I hope that in some way my work can resonate with somebody. If I can make one out of the seven billion people on Earth feel less alone, then I can leave this world happy. I want to inspire those who see my work to live their lives out loud and tell the world, 'Here I am, and I am so Beautiful, here's My Truth.' When struggles arise, we often forget how truly special we are. Each and every one of us brings something beautiful and unique to the table.
I think the world deserves to hear Your Voice." - Monique Nicole Gibbons
