About

Hi, I'm

Monday

Consider me a fiery femme living my ancestors’ wildest dreams. Standing proud in my Afro-Indigenous (Togolese-Secwépemc) heritage, I'm a professional life coach, semi-retired showgirl, activist AND Lupus Warrior.

My performance career began in 2011, and I've had the pleasure of traveling the world as a solo femme adventurer, performing whenever and wherever I got the chance.

After completing my term on the board of directors for the prestigious Vancouver International Burlesque Festival (2018-2020), my most recent endeavours include being an avid entrepreneur and founding her jewelry line Monday May Jewelry.

 

In my free time, I spend a lot of time gleefully watching outdated oppressive systems burn to the ground (Aries).

​My whole life I've been striving to exist without limits—to be free—and I hope to inspire others to feel just as empowered.

Educator 

Coach

As someone who has spent much of her life not having one, finding a voice to share my teachings is a huge victory!

 

In 2016, I graduated from the Erickson International coaching program and have since learned how to fuse my coaching techniques with my art and cultural practices. If you and/or your organization are looking for an educator with a decolonial worldview, a knack for inspiring self-reflection and a “lovingly no-nonsense” delivery, please get in touch!   ​

My current offerings:

  • Anti-Racist Leadership w/co-facilitator Sparkle Plenty

  • Power Up: Energy, Boundaries & Stage Presence

  • Ready, Set, Activate: Lovingly Leading Cultural Shifts & Social Change (BIPOC only)

  • Hustle: Healing Relationships with Money
