“Oh, to Transgress: Living a Life I Love”

Mona Reeves is creating herself as a Renaissance woman. With a heart and mind for social justice, Mona participated in the UU pilot anti-racism curriculum, Building the World We Dream About, 10 years ago at First E and UUCA. In her master’s thesis, “Conjure Women: The Importance of the Humanities in the African-American Woman’s Fight against Racism,” research supported the conclusion that when people relate human-to-human, there is no room for racism. Mona inspires artists and is inspired by them in her work as a professional art model. She expresses her deep love for music through singing jazz standards, playing piano, and dancing to music that moves her. Mona’s deepest desire is for the eradication of all -isms. Her life quest is a commitment to the power of truth, transparency, and authenticity.
